This is what I did to one of the countries greatest presidents!

1809 - Abraham Lincoln was born on a stormy morning on February 12, l809 in a log cabin on the Kentucky frontier. He was born on a bed of poles covered with corn husks. Lincoln was named after his grandfather. His parents were Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks. He had one sister, Sarah. 1834 - Lincoln, age 24, served in the state government of Illinois. He was elected to the legislature as a Whig, where he denounced slavery, saying it was "founded on both injustice and bad policy."1836 - On September 9, Lincoln received his law license and is a leader of the Whig party. He first practices law in Springfield, Illinois. He needed a place to keep his important papers handy, so he tucked them into his tall black hat.
