　　(2015·河南六市第一次联考)President Abraham Lincoln led the Union of northern states in four years of civil war against the southern Confederacy. But he did not live to see the end of the war. He did not live to see the nation re­united. He was assassinated in April of 1865.

　　Almost immediately, officials began planning details of the president’s funeral. They asked Mrs. Lincoln where she wanted her husband buried. At first, she said Chicago. That was where the Lincolns were going to live after they left the White House.

　　Finally, she remembered a country cemetery they had visited.At the time, her husband had said，“When I am gone, lay my remains in some quiet place like this.” So Mrs. Lincoln decided that the president’s final resting place would be in the quiet, beautiful Oak Ridge Cemetery outside their home town of Springfield, Illinois.

　　For several days after Lincoln’s assassination, his body lay in the East Room of the White House. The room was open to the public all day. Next, the body was taken to the Capitol building. Again, the public could come to say goodbye. Then the body was put on a special train for the trip back to Illinois.
