On February 1809, Lincoln was born in a poor peasant family in Harding County, Kentucky. His father is a shoemaker. In his own words, his childhood was "a concise chronicle of poverty". When he was a child, he helped his family move firewood, carry water and do farm work. Parents are descendants of British immigrants. They make a living by farming and hunting. 18 16, the Lincoln family moved to southwest Indiana to reclaim land for a living. Lincoln's mother died at the age of nine.

A year later, my father married a virtuous woman. Stepmother is kind and hardworking, and regards the children of her ex-wife as her own. Lincoln also loved his stepmother, and the family lived in harmony and happiness. Because of his poor family, Lincoln didn't get a good education. In order to support his family, Lincoln worked as a ferryman, plantation worker, shop assistant and carpenter on the Ohio River in his teens. /kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, Lincoln, who was tall (188cm), was hired by a ship owner and sailed thousands of miles along the Ohio River with others.

Before the age of 25, Lincoln had no fixed job and made a living everywhere. As an adult, he became a local land surveyor. Because he is proficient in measurement and calculation, he is often invited by people to solve land boundary disputes. After hard work, Lincoln has always been a young man who loves reading, and the light of reading at night always flashes late. When he was young, Lincoln read all Shakespeare's works, American history and many books on history and literature. He made himself a learned man through self-study. He made his first political speech at a political rally. Because he attacked slavery and put forward some suggestions beneficial to public utilities, Lincoln had an influence on the public, and with his outstanding personality, he was elected as a state senator in 1834.

Two years later, Lincoln became a lawyer through self-study and soon became the Whig leader of the state legislature. 1834 In August, 25-year-old Lincoln was elected as a state legislator and began his political career. He also manages rural post offices, conducts land surveys and studies law with the help of friends. A few years later, he became a lawyer. After accumulating the experience of state legislators, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives on 1846. 1847, Lincoln, as a representative of the Whig Party, participated in the election of members of Congress and was successful. He came to Washington for the first time. Around this time, the debate about slavery has become a major event in American political life. In this debate, Lincoln gradually became an anti-slavery person. He believes that slavery should be eliminated eventually, and slavery should be abolished in Washington State, DC first. Slavery, which represented the interests of southern planters, was madly opposed to Lincoln. 1850, the power of American slave owners increased greatly, and Lincoln withdrew from Congress and continued to be a lawyer.

1860, Lincoln became the Republican presidential candidate. 1 1 In June, the general election was announced, and he was elected as the16th president of the United States with 2 million votes. But in the southern 10 states controlled by the slave owner, he didn't get the 1 vote.

After the general election was announced, the planters in the south created divisions and launched a rebellion. 1 1 The southern states successively seceded from the federation, announced the establishment of the "League of American States", formulated a new constitution and elected presidents.

186 1 In April, the rebels in the south first started a war against the north. Lincoln called on the people to fight for the unification of the union.

At the beginning of the civil war, because the planters in the south plotted rebellion for a long time, the Lincoln government tried to compromise and lost in the war. The capital, Washington, is threatened. In order to reverse the war situation, the Lincoln administration promulgated the Homestead Law in May 1862, which stipulated that American citizens could acquire 160 acres of land in the west for only 10 dollars, and they could become their owners after five years of continuous farming. In September, the The Emancipation Proclamation was promulgated, abolishing slavery and stipulating that slaves who rebelled in various states were free men. The form of war suddenly changed.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/863, the northern army turned to counterattack. 1865, the southern rebels surrendered to the northern army, and the four-year civil war ended in victory in the north.

1865 On the evening of April 6, just after the Civil War, Lincoln was assassinated at the Ford Theater in Washington. On May 4th, Lincoln was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery. Lincoln led the American people to safeguard national unity, abolish slavery, remove obstacles for the development of capitalism, and promote the development of American history. 100 has been respected by the American people for more than a decade. Because of Lincoln's progressive role in American history, people praised him as "a model of national rulers in the new era."

Abraham? Lincoln was the first 16 president of the United States, one of the greatest figures in world history, and led the great struggle to save the Union and end slavery. People miss his integrity, kindness and strong personality. He has always been one of the most admired presidents in American history. Although he only received a little elementary education in the frontier and had little experience in holding public office, his keen insight and profound humanitarian consciousness made him the greatest president in American history.

The best thing in life is friendship with people. Giving freedom to others and safeguarding one's own freedom are lofty undertakings. What we care about is not whether you fail, but whether you complain about failure. Diligent people will succeed. Education is actually an early habit. People who do not give others freedom should not be free themselves, and it is impossible to remain free for a long time under the rule of a just God.
