Question

When Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, his parents probably never considered that their newborn would one day become the 16th 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 labourer, 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. Abraham’s mother died in 1818 after becoming ill. Even though she died when he was only nine-years-old, she also had lessons to teach the 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. 1.
