Abraham Lincoln Speech
By Jonathan
Hello, my
name is Abraham Lincoln. I was born in 1809
in a log cabin and lived in Kentucky. (Tips hat) I had an older sister named
Sarah. She would memorize the Bible and
read it to me and mom. I loved to clime trees.
When I was
11 years old I could go school when I had no chores. I learned how to multiply,
read and write. I mostly loved reading throughout my whole life.
In 1830 I
moved to Illinois. In 1842, I married Marry Tod and made a shop but it did not
go well. In 1846 I was elected to the U.S. congress. In 1861 the civil war
began and the same year I was president. 1863 I gave a speech that helped free
slaves.
In 1865, I
went to a theater in Washington DC. The guard at the door left and I got shot by
John Wilks Booth. The next day I died. I am remembered for being a great
leader.
