Technically, no. Lincoln was not a Founder. Rather, the Founding Fathers were those were present for the making of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and those who shaped the country as it was being formed. Lincoln's legacy in history is as the Savior and Protector of the Union, but not as a Founding Father.
