Detailed explanation-1: -The Secret Service has grown from a small bureau staffed by a few operatives commissioned by the Treasury Department in 1865.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Secret Service was originally created in July 1865 to combat counterfeiters and its job of protecting the president became full-time after President William McKinley’s assassination in 1901.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lincoln’s legacy is based on his momentous achievements: he successfully waged a political struggle and civil war that preserved the Union, ended slavery, and created the possibility of civil and social freedom for African-Americans.
