Abraham Lincoln

Lawyer, U.S. Representative, U.S. President, (1809–1865)

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States and is regarded as one of America’s greatest heroes due to his issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves within the Confederacy in 1863. Lincoln was assassinated at Ford’s Theatre in Washington on April 14, 1865, by John Wilkes Booth, an actor.

Abraham Lincoln was born to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln in a log cabin in Kentucky. When Lincoln was nine years old, his mother died at age 34. Just over a year after his mother’s death, Lincoln’s father married Sarah Bush Johnston, a Kentucky widow with three children of her own. The Lincolns were forced to move from Lincoln’s birthplace of Kentucky to Perry County, Indiana, due to a land dispute in 1817.

Though both his parents were most likely illiterate, Lincoln’s father’s new wife Sarah encouraged him to read. Books were in short supply in the Indiana wilderness, and neighbors recalled how young Lincoln would walk for miles to borrow a book.
