Perhaps there will never be another American like Abraham Lincoln. This son of a simple farmer first rose in society through great physical strength and then through applying himself to the study of the law. This one time congressman and failed Senate candidate was to became the first Republican President in 1861. Largely because the Democratic Party split their votes between two candidates and lost control of the White House for the first time in 12 years. 

He was sworn into office on March 4, 1861. A little more than a month later General Beauregard commanded cannons to fire upon Fort Sumter and the American Civil War had begun. 

Abraham Lincoln has been the subject of military miniatures for decades. Many of them very good, but the new Toy Soldier from W Britain might be the best ever made, just compare the close up on the right of the page with a photography taken of President Lincoln early in his term. William Britain commitment to a new level excellence is apparent to all.
