Even though Americans view Abraham Lincoln with respect, nobody really considers him a martyr. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to change the cultural and political landscape enough for Lincoln to be considered a martyr by 2009. The POD can be anytime after 1809. Bonus points if people equate him with Jesus, if flags are flown half-staff every death-day, and/or if people have his portrait in every room(a la Mao).
