Abraham Lincoln
Created by: The Mermaids(Liliana, Alexa, Jesse, Laney, Lilian)
IntroductionAbraham Lincoln began his journey from his early years.
He has a strong and caring heart towards all. Starting off to reading borrowed books and ended in great
memory. His education was a huge part of his journey. His speeches began so small and simple yet powerful.
If he wasn’t for him becoming a lawyer, he wouldn’t have received his amazing gift and talent learned through education.
Nor would he have won the election in the 1800sto become The President of United States.

HistoryAbraham Lincoln spent his entire childhood and manhood on the brink of
poverty his opportunities for education were meager. Lincoln's formal schooling were limited to brief periods as he had to work to support his
family. In 1830 his family moved to southern Illinois after settling in Illinois Lincoln became involved in local politics. In 1834 he won election
to state legislature. Lincoln won election to the U.S House of representatives in 1846. Friends began to urge Lincoln to run for
president. He held back, but did extend his range of speechmaking beyond Illinois. on Feb. 27, 1860, at Cooper Union, in New York City, he delivered an address on the need for restricting slavery that put him in the forefront of Republican leadership. On Feb. 11, 1861, Lincoln left
Springfield to take up his duties as president.

PurposeAbraham Lincoln has a lot of interests, rights and values.
From reading books at the age of 9, to becoming a legend as a President at the age of 52. Lincoln worked hard with his political views, such as slavery and The Civil War. His rights
and values stood strong, especially during The Civil War. Although he lost a lot of Americans, Generals, and Cabinets,
he still continued his job. Which sadly, led him to his assassination. He will always be remembered for his
purpose he made in America.
-Lilian Henrie
ArgumentAbraham Lincoln’s childhood education was very limited, he learned much from books. The Lincolns did not have any books and Abraham was forced to borrow. Studying from books made it so that Lincoln was admitted to law firm. If the problem was solved or the opportunity was realized Lincoln wouldn’t have become the person he
became. . Lincoln’s struggles were a motivation for working his hardest and accomplishing his goals in life.
