18. Lincoln Risked His Life During The Civil War
There are a few pictures of Abraham Lincoln taken on the battlefields of the Civil War. The photographer took these photos while he was meeting with generals and the soldiers who were fighting to help preserve the Union. Throughout the Civil War, Lincoln took the Civil War personally and did everything he could to support the Union troops, including risking his life. Lincoln did not have secret service and did not always use his bodyguards, which made his trips to the battlefields riskier.
