Abraham Lincoln's Childhood

Answer 1

I was born on the 12th of February, 1809, in a log cabin. In sinking spring farm southeast, Hardin County, Kentucky. I was named after my dead grandfather, who was killed in 1786, shot from being ambushed by an Indian while clearing a field but I wasn't given a middle name because my parents didn't think that It was needed.. I grew up on the American frontier. I had to educate myself by reading borrowed books. As a young boy I grew up on the American frontier, and moved to many different places. In 1811 I moved to a farm on knob creek. In 1816, October, 5th, (I was about the age of 7) I then moved to Indiana, settling near a present day gentry vile. I have two siblings:

Sarah-she was born on the 10th of February; 1807and died in childbirth on January, 20th, 1828, along with her child.

Thomas- he died in infancy in 1812.

I also had 3-step-sibling: John, Matilda, and Elizabeth. I had a mum called Nancy hanks, and a father called Thomas Lincoln. My father, and grandfather (Abraham) were born in Rockingham county Virginia. When I as 21my family moved to Illinois, in 1831, I left home for New Salem, in Sagaman County near Springfield I never joined a church, anywhere I went. The reason I never joined any was because many church members were opposed of slavery. I grew to be a tall and strong teenager. In 1828, at 19, I helped take a flatboat down the Ohio River to New Orleans. There I saw for the first time slaves being sold in the marketplace. I would work to end slavery for the rest of my life.
