Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln, often called "Abe," rose from a log cabin in Kentucky to become one of the most influential U.S. presidents. Born to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln, his early years were marked by hardship and loss. Despite limited formal education, he taught himself law and entered politics, eventually gaining fame through a series of public debates. Elected president during a tumultuous era, Lincoln's leadership aimed to preserve the Union and abolish slavery. His dedication to justice and equality has left a lasting legacy that continues to inspire generations.
