The hero who broke the chains of slavery
The same color of blood flows in all the people created by God. But some are born lucky, and some are poor. If a person has to respect another person, who should he respect? the rich or the poor?? If you ask Lincoln, he will look at it differently. He said that everyone has self-respect. Abraham Lincoln was the one who believed in this as a trinity!
In 1861, America’s fate changed. The humanitarian and selfless democratic leader Abraham Lincoln ascended to the presidency of that country. Fifteen people sat on that throne before him, and twenty-eight sat after him. However, no one could reach his level. It is no exaggeration to say that Lincoln is still the idol of the American people. He left such an impression on the minds of Americans.

Abraham Lincoln Childhood
Childhood and youth In December 1816, Thomas Lincoln moved with his family to Indiana, where he had filed a lawsuit challenging his title to his Kentucky farm. There, as a squatter on government land, he hastily built a “half-faced camp”—a crude structure of logs and branches open on one side to the weather—in which the family took shelter at blazing fire.
He soon built a permanent cabin, and later he bought the land on which it stood. Abraham Lincoln helped clear the fields and tend the crops but early developed a dislike for hunting and fishing. In later years he recalled the “panther roar,” “bears that flew hogs,” and “sometimes a very pinch” of poverty on the Indiana frontier.
The most unfortunate period of his childhood came after the death of his mother in the fall of 1818. At the age of nine, he watched her buried in the woods, then faced the winter without the warmth of a mother’s love.Fortunately, before the second winter began, Thomas Lincoln married Sarah Bush Johnston, who had moved from Kentucky to Indiana to raise a family with Thomas Lincoln.
A widow with two girls and a boy, she had energy and affection and ran the household equally, treating both sets of children as if they were her own, but she developed a special affection for Abraham Lincoln, and he for her. He later referred to his stepmother as his “angelic mother.”
