ABOUT ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. 

He was born February 12, 1809, in Hodgenville, Hardin County, Kentucky. Abraham Lincoln came from humble beginnings. He had very little formal education, but had a strong interest in books and learning. He soon moved into politics and won a seat in the Illinois Legislature when he was 25. 

Lincoln served on the Illinois State Legislature for several terms. During that time he studied the law and began to work as a lawyer. He ran for the U.S. Congress in 1845.

In 1860, Lincoln ran for President of the United States. He was a member of the fairly new Republican party.

On January 1, 1863 Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. This was an order that freed the slaves in the Confederate States.

Lincoln is most famous for leading the country during the American Civil War. His leadership in the North helped the country to remain strong and defeat the South keeping the country united. He also pushed for the freedom of all slaves throughout the nation. 

President Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. and died the next day on April 15, 1865.
