27. Abraham Lincoln
Everyone knows that Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. His story is so epic, he’s been portrayed in movies and TV series like The Blue and The Gray, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989), The Day Lincoln Was Shot (1998), The Conspirator (2010), Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012), Lincoln (2012) and more. He’s always portrayed as the larger-than-life “great emancipator”. However, Lincoln stayed silent on his anti-slavery stance, and never openly condemned the practice until 1854. And in 1860, he decided to leave it up to the states to choose, rather than banning it in federal law. On top of this, most movies depict him as having a deep, baritone voice. Sure, he was a great speaker, but in reality, he actually had a higher-pitched voice.
