Standing six feet four inches tall and treating all people equally, was an honest president named Abraham Lincoln ("Biography of Abraham Lincoln"). He had two nicknames: “Honest Abe” and “The Great Emancipator” (“Abraham Lincoln Biography”). Abraham Lincoln never liked the idea of ​​slavery; this is why, on January 1, 1863, he freed the slaves who were part of the confederacy (“Abraham Lincoln”). He achieved an ambitious goal by winning the Civil War (“Abraham Lincoln”). Lincoln was the proud father of four children (“Martin 2, 16, 18, 26, 42 and 82”). Being honest, winning the presidency, opposing slavery, and putting his life on the line proves that Abraham Lincoln dies an American patriot. Being a father of four boys is not an easy task as they can get rowdy and fierce. When Abraham was eight years old, his father moved from Kentucky to Indiana and Abraham had to move to ("Abraham Lincoln"). In Indiana there were lots of untamed animals and that's where he lived most of his life ("Abraham Lincoln"). Lincoln's mother died when he was only nine years old (Westenberg)! Later, after the death of his mother, his father married Sarah Bush Johnson (Westenberg). Sarah always encouraged Abraham to read (“Abraham Lincoln”). When Abraham was older, he only knew how to read, write, and cipher (“Abraham Lincoln”). Abraham dated Anne Rutledge, but she died when she was 22 ("Abraham Lincoln"). At age 22, Lincoln had to live alone because his father moved away (“Abraham Lincoln”). In 1842, Abraham Lincoln married Mary Todd on November 4 (Weinberg 105, 106 and 108). After Mary Todd and Abraham divorced, he married Nancy Hanks ("Encyclopedia of the World"). Having to lose your mother at nine years old would be hard a...... middle of paper ...... a year later, the tomb was surrounded by a cage and placed under a large rock (Martin 2, 16, 18, 26, 42 and 82). April 14, 1865 will be a day Americans will never forget. Abraham Lincoln will always be remembered for all his loyal qualities and how much he changed for America. His house was open to visitors in 1887 (Westenberg). Abraham will be remembered for freeing the slaves while being the greatest president America has ever had (Martin 2, 16, 18, 26, 42 and 82) (“Encyclopedia of the World”). Having a great sense of humor is a great quality for Abraham Lincoln (Martin 2, 16, 18, 26, 42 and 82). He always told jokes and loved to tell stories (Martin 2, 16, 18, 26, 42 and 82). Abraham Lincoln seemed authentic and I think it would have been amazing to meet him. Achieving things that matter and doing the right thing will help you remember.
