Question

1.When Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, his parents probably
never considered that their new born would one day become the President of the
United States, nor that his birthday would help inspire a national holiday. Unlike
many of his predecessors, Abraham Lincoln came from humble beginnings. He
was born to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln who lived in a log cabin in Kentucky.
2. Lincoln’s grandfather had been killed by Native Americans and his father was
an uneducated laborer, who had to work hard to find steady work and take care of
his family. After finally earning enough to purchase three farms in Kentucky, his
family was forced out of the land and moved to Indiana. From his father, Lincoln
learned to move on in the face of trouble. In fact, Thomas Lincoln had to move on
multiple times in his life. Even though Abraham’s mother died when he was only
nine years old, she also had lessons to teach young Abraham about honesty and
determination.
3. When he was a young man, his family moved to Illinois. Abraham had little
formal education while growing up. He loved to read, so he educated himself. He
studied law by reading law books .He became a lawyer in 1837, in Springfield,
Illinois.
