I am going to tell you about his struggles and hardships that he endured through his life, to prove he was a great man.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Hardin County, Kentucky on February 12, 1809. His parents' names were Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Their family was very poor and very hard working. They were farmers and lived in a one- room log cabin in rural Kentucky. Abraham was named after his grandfather.

He was nicknamed Abe and later in his life he would become known as Honest Abe. Abraham's life was a big struggle. When he was young he had to work long hard hours on the farm. Besides having to do many chores, Abe's mother wanted for him to know how to read since neither she nor Abraham's father knew how. They wanted Abe to have a better life than they had.

Back then school did not come free. The Lincoln family paid the teacher to teach Abe. Since they did not have much money, they paid her with firewood, food, or just about anything the teacher would take. When Abraham was 8 their family moved to Indiana. Almost two years later Abe's mother died Illustration by Elizabeth Gillen of "milk-sickness." Later Abe's father remarried to a lady named Sarah Johnston.

She had three children of her own. Abraham later called his mother, Sarah, his "best friend in this world." At the age of 16, Abe was very tall, slim, and strong. He often worked for anyone who would hire him. Sometimes he would be a farmhand, grocery clerk, and he also became known as a rail splitter. He always would read and study if he could.

Later he got into politics, and later would become the President of the United States of America. I strongly believe that Abe had no idea that he would ever become anything important. Later in his life his work finally paid off. Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest men ever to walk the face of the earth. Made in the U.S.A.
