Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 - April 15, 1865) was a poltician and lawyer who served as the 16th president. Lincoln led the United States (specifically the Union) throughout the Civil War.

Early life
Lincoln was born on February 12th, 1809, in a log cabin on Sinking Spring Farm near Hodgenville, Kentucky. In 1811, Lincoln's family was forced to move out due to a land title dispute, so they relocated to the Knob Creek Farm, eight miles north of the Sinking Spring Farm.
