Please explain what Abraham Lincoln did and accomplished as a president?

During the civil war, it was completely unheard of that a president would want to free the slaves. The fact that he signed the emancipation proclamation blew many ppl away.

He also kept the country together during the war. A task that many great president's would have found daunting.
