Abraham Lincoln will go down in history as the man who led the charge to free the slaves. However, there are so many other things about the 16th president of the United States that they won’t teach you in history class.
He Was the Tallest US President of All Time
Abraham Lincoln stood 6 feet 4-inches tall, which is right up there with modern NBA players. To put this in perspective, the national average height at the time was about 5 feet 10 inches, making him roughly a foot taller than everyone else. Despite his massive stature, he weighed 180 pounds soaking wet and considerably less during his presidency.
