Preacher President ~ Our 20th President


I was born in Ohio to a very poor family and am believed to come from the poorest family out of all the presidents.  

Other careers that I had before I became president include Preaching, Teaching, and being a Lawyer. 

I was ambidextrous but was the first president to be considered left-handed.  

The only executive action that I completed in office was to create a day to honor the graves of those who died fighting in the civil war.  

I was only president for 200 days, before I was assassinated.  

Who am I?
