There were also several differences between Washington and Lincoln. Washington came from a wealthy aristocratic background, he had several years of schooling and Lincoln came from a poor background and had very little schooling. Another difference between the two involved their military roles. Washington was a general, he was a military leader became president. Lincoln never served in the military, he was a lawyer who early on became a politician, when he became president he took on the role of commander in chief as all U.S. presidents do. Despite his lack of military background or training, lincoln made several strategic decisions that enabled the U.S. military leaders to win the Civil War. Finally, Washington served for two terms and therefore had eight years to accomplish his policies. Lincoln, on the other hand, was assasinated. While in office and was not able to finish some of the things that he wanted for the country.
