Abraham Lincoln

by S.B.

   I was born February, 12,1809 in Harden County, Kentucky.  I was a son of Thomas and Nancy Lincoln.  I was named after my father’s grandfather.  My father was a carpenter and farmer.  Both of my parents were members of a Baptist church which due to opposition to slavery.  When I grew up I wanted to be like my father.  My father moved from Kentucky because he didn’t like how they were treating slaves, he moved us to North INDIANA.
     I operated a store and was a postmaster, lawyer, and member of the Whig party. Later I became the sixteenth president of the United States.  I worked with abolitionists to get rid of slavery.  I think everyone should have the right to live free.  I am a hard worker, a great leader, honest, and I never gave up running for politics. I never gave up for president of the United sates of America, I am good a writing speeches like the Gettysburg address and the Emancipation Proclamation. There was still prejudice in the South and trying to unite the country after the civil war. Always be fair in life.
