AN OVERVIEW OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S LIFE Abraham Lincoln was born Sunday, February 12, 1809, in a log cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky . He was the son of Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln , and he was named for his paternal grandfather. Thomas Lincoln was a carpenter and farmer. Both of Abraham's parents were members of a Baptist congregation which had separated from another church due to opposition to slavery. When Abraham was 7, the family moved to southern Indiana . Abraham had gone to school briefly in Kentucky and did so again in Indiana. He attended school with his older sister, Sarah (his younger brother, Thomas, had died in infancy). In 1818 Nancy Hanks Lincoln died from milk sickness , a disease obtained from drinking the milk of cows which had grazed on poisonous white snakeroot. Thomas Lincoln remarried the next year, and Abraham loved his new stepmother, Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln . She brought 3 children of her own into the household. As Abraham grew up, he loved to read and preferred learning to working in the fields. This led to a difficult relationship with his father who was just the opposite. Abraham was constantly borrowing books from the neighbors. In 1828 Abraham's sister, who had married Aaron Grigsby in 1826, died during childbirth. Later in the year, Abraham made a flatboat trip to New Orleans. In 1830 the Lincolns moved west to

For food, they relied on wildlife that they could trap. In 1818, Lincoln's mother died. His older sister tried to take care of the household. The next year, Lincoln's father returned to Kentucky and brought back a second wife and her three children. More people started moving to the wilderness and Lincoln spent a lot of time at the general store owned by James Gentry. He and Gentry's son, Allen, took a flatboat down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans. This was the first time, Lincoln had been in a big city. Once again, Lincoln's father moved his family. This time they built a cabin in Illinois.

He enjoyed wrestling and debating. Lincoln became the captain of a band of volunteers during the Black Hawk War.

Lincoln, Abraham President during the USA Civil War by Rit Nosotro Although young Abraham learned the Bible from his mother until her death when Abe was but nine years old, Abraham Lincoln grew in skepticism of organized religion. However, the death of his mother, his own sons (d.1850,1862), and soldiers of "his" civil war, forced Abraham to often consider eternity, providence and God. This 16th President of the United States successfully lead his country through the greatest test in its history: the American Civil War. Did he ever return to the faith learned at his mother's knee? The man of many jobs had a bent toward learning; he read all the books he could get his hands on and taught himself law. In 1834 he ran successfully for a seat in the Illinois Legislature. He grew in importance in the Whig party, and passed his bar examination to become a lawyer. For the next ten years he balanced Illinois politics and his law practice, growing skillful and gaining renown in both. After the loss, Lincoln expected himself to fade from public view, but the reverse happened. He was called on to make speeches all over the North. At the Republican convention in 1860, Lincoln, though a decided underdog, was nominated to run for president. With the Democrats divided into a northern and a southern party, each with its own candidate, and yet another party in the running, Lincoln won easily.

African American Journey From Africa to America From Slavery to Freedom The Abolition Movement ... Black History Month The Civil War: Lincoln, Abraham Abraham Lincoln The American people knew little about Lincoln when he became President. Little in his past experience indicated that he could successfully deal with the deep differences between Northerners and Southerners over slavery. Lincoln received less than 40 per cent of the popular vote in winning the presidential election of 1860. But by 1865, he had become in the eyes of the world equal in importance to George Washington. Through the years, many people have regarded Lincoln as the greatest person in United States history. During the Civil War, Lincoln's first task was to win the war. He had to view nearly all other matters in relation to the war. It was "the progress of our arms," he once said, "upon which all else depends." But Lincoln was a peace-loving man who had earlier described military glory as "that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of bloodthat serpent's eye that charms to destroy." The Civil War was by far the bloodiest war in U.S. history. In the Battle of Gettysburg, for example, the more than 45,000 total casualties (people killed, wounded, captured, or missing) exceeded the number of casualties in all previous American wars put together.
