He became president

He became famous by leading the Civil War, and being a president.

His liberal views on what was considered 'normal' behavior for the majority of American society at the time ( IE: slavery) were both "shocking" and refreshing.

Humans owning humans was abhorrent to Lincoln and his followers.
