Abraham Lincoln's Inaccuation

Satisfactory Essays

Abraham Lincoln was born in Hodgenville, Kentucky February 12, 1809 but grew up on the western frontier in Kentucky and Indiana. At the age of 23 he brought a small general store but he struggled so he sold the general store. So he then served as a postmaster and later became a country surveyor. Once in a campaign he saw a supporter get attacked so he grabbed the attacker by the neck and pants and threw him away. Even though he didn't have good evacuation he finished eighth out of 13. Then in 1846 he was elected to the House of Representatives where he stayed a one two-year term. He was the only Whig in the Illinois delegation but he showed his loyalty by participating in pretty much all votes and made speeches that help the party line.
