I am the 16th president of the United States! I'm famous for freeing the slaves through the Emancipation Proclamation. I was president during the great Civil War and said the Gettysburg Address. While watching a play at Ford Theater with my beautiful wife, Mary, John Wilkes Booth shot me. I died a few minutes later in a bed across the street.

My next identity is a famous activist from the 1950s and 1960s who was assassinated in 1968.
