Read the following passage and answer the given questions.
Hardships made Abraham Lincoln develop a deep sense of self-confidence that he fully leveraged throughout his
entire adult life. But perhaps his greatest inspiration came from an intransigent belief that he had a purpose to fulfil.
Apparently, at a very early age, Lincoln set his sights on "engraving his name in history." "Every man is said to have
his peculiar ambition," he wrote. "I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed by fellow men, by
rendering myself worthy of their esteem."
With America greatly divided over slavery, and at the height of a civil war that already had taken the lives of
hundreds of thousands of men, Lincoln was certain that his purpose was to preserve the greatest democracy the
world had ever known, and to ensure its "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish
from the earth."
Tied to the conviction that his work was intrinsically important, it was Lincoln who consistently found the courage to
invigorate the spirits of his cabinet and troops during the country's most dire and desperate hours.
