Abraham Lincoln - What You DIDN'T KNOW
From wrestling rings to White House halls, Lincoln's legacy is not just about freedom speeches. He… was a pretty bizarre person in all honesty.
_____
Before Lincoln was the Great Emancipator, the 16th President, the face on the penny, he was a lanky Illinois lawyer - one who'd rather throw you over his shoulder in a wrestling match than argue over a bill.
Yes, before he was dodging political blows, he was quite literally dodging takedowns in the ring. With over 300 matches under his belt, only one loss, and standing at an imposing 6'4", Lincoln's wrestling exploits are the stuff of legend. Of these matches
He came closer to Plato’s conception of an ideal man than many other presidents, physically, academically, and professionally accomplished. Each match, a testament to his physicality and sportsmanship, revealed a man who was as humble in victory as he was formidable in combat.
This however, is arguably the least controversial thing about Lincoln. This is even as Lincoln honed a mental acuity that mirrored his physical agility—a combination that would prove indispensable in the trials of leadership that lay ahead.
