Abraham Lincoln was believed to be the most important president
of America. He was twice elected as president, he got 56 years of age, and in
1865 while watching a drama in a theater he was assassinated. The person who
killed him was a racist. His fault was to end the course of slavery from
America and struggled to give freedom to blacks. The sixteenth president of
America was born in 1809 in a poor family. He could not get formal education.
He was self made and self educated person. He worked in fields, for study he
would borrow book from others. Once he borrowed a book from a landlord on
the biography of the first president of America George Washington. But the book
has damaged. For the compensation, He had to work in his fields to the landlord
for three days.
He saw on these
ships, cruel treatment of black slaves. He would think of their freedom.
At that time seven southern states, where blacks would work in fields of white
landlords, had established a rebellion government against the federal
government of 34 northern states. In that environment Abraham Lincoln became great
lawyer without studying in school and college, did it entirely on his
potentials. American population was 30 million at that point of time. The women
and slaves did not have the right to vote. Lincoln even in these conditions got
elected as the president. His life is a classical example of hard work,
honesty, performance and intelligence.
