Great Emancipator Had To Ask Help Occasionally Too
Abraham Lincoln, during his presidency, drafted the Emancipation Proclamation with input from Dr. Gurley of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. The original draft, kept in Lincoln's hand, was discussed at a church site in Washington. Lincoln, a regular churchgoer, faced small discomforts and sought gospel guidance, including a tale about his sons Willie and Tad visiting a nearby church and enjoying its different pews and sermons.
