Abe Lincoln

I just read the Magic Tree House book Abe Lincoln at Last.

In it Jack and Annie go to meet Abe Lincoln to give him a message of hope and get a special feather.

I learned that :

Abe was not famous when he was a kid.

He grew up in a log cabin made by hand and was very poor.

Life was very hard for him. He had to do a lot of chores like making corn bread, cutting wood, getting water from the stream and the last thing was grinding the corn for the corn bread.

He also taught himself how to read and liked learning from his sister Sarah.

When he grew up he was very honest and he believed slavery was wrong. When he became President he stopped slavery and freed the slave but some states didn't like it so they left the country and then there was the Civil War.
