The first war Abraham Lincoln was involved in was the Black Hawk War in 1832. He served as a captain in the Illinois militia during this conflict, which was primarily fought between American settlers and Native American tribes led by Chief Black Hawk. Although his military experience was brief and not marked by significant combat, it was an early exposure to military leadership. This experience later influenced his perspective on the Civil War.
