Known affectionately as "Honest Abe, " Abraham Lincoln was a modest yet sagacious man who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most revered figures in American history.
Born in a log cabin in Kentucky in 1809, Abraham Lincoln worked as a storekeeper. Rail-splutter, postmaster, surveyor, and lawyer before becoming the sixteenth President of the United States. His election in 1860 was quickly followed by the secession of several Southern states and the start of the Civil War. On April 14, 1865, five days after the war ended, Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth and died the next day but his legacy of leadership is forever cemented in American history. Largely self-educated, Lincoln was a voracious reader who applied the knowledge he gleaned from books to his everyday life and, ultimately, his career and political pursuits.
