AnaMaria Servellon Mr. Shupp English 10 H February 5, 2009 Why Abraham Lincoln is Still a Good Influence on Society As the 16th president of the United States Abraham Lincoln abolishes slavery with the executive order he gave during the Civil War called the Emancipation Proclamation, because of his hard work and determination we are now able to live free and independent. Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in a small wooden cabin in Hodgenville, Kentucky. As a child he was always interested in books and being outside and learning new things. In 1816 Nancy and Thomas Lincoln packed their things and took Abraham and Sarah, his sister to Indiana. They moved near the Little Pigeon Creek in December. When they got there Thomas Lincoln started building their new cabin and improving their 160 –acre land. While fixing the land Abraham helped and that is how he became familiar with the axe and plow. In October 1818 Nancy Hanks died when he was nine years old, due to milk sickness, she was only thirty-five. His father remarried a year later to a woman named Sarah Bush Johnston. Abraham really love his new stepmother, he eventually started calling her mother. Lincoln did not get much education as a child, actually later in life he recalled only getting about one year of education. But that only happened because he stayed at home helping around the house and fields. But his mother always encouraged him to read a lot though. Even though he didn’t get formal education he was a very good reader, intelligent, and a good speaker. Later in life when Abraham got to be twenty he actually left Indiana and moved to Illinois where after the Black Hawk War he began his practice in Law. After finishing his practice he started his own law firm which was actually very successful. As he grew older everyday he learned something new which is why I think he was a great person and leader because, even though he didn’t get any formal education like many people do he was able to teach himself many things from his past experiences as a person. When asked who influenced him to become who he was Lincoln always said my family. He said his family because they were the ones that taught him how to be independent, honest, influenced his beliefs in the importance of education and learning, and how to be a hard worker and never give up, and show compassion for people no matter what their race, gender, religion. And they taught what was right and wrong. I think that out of his parents his real mother influenced him the most. She always encouraged him to practice things like reading and writing. She always showed great kindness towards everyone.
