February 12th
Abraham Lincoln's Birthday
Abraham Lincoln's actual birth date.
However, in modern times, we celebrate Lincoln, and all of the U.S. Presidents,
on President's
Day.
Every
American knows President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United
States. "Honest Abe", as he was commonly known, was born in the wilderness
country of Hardin County, Kentucky on February 12, 1809.
Abraham
Lincoln became president in 1861. Although he hated war, he was drawn into it as
he believed it was the only was to save the nation, after the southern states
declared their secession from the Union.
In
addition to serving as president during the civil war and saving the Union,
Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation that ended slavery in the U.S.
forever.He also wrote and gave The Gettysburg Address, memorializing the
bloodiest and most important battle of the Civil War. Gettysburg proved to be
the turning point of the war.
Shortly
after the war ended, Abraham Lincoln became the first U.S. President to be
assassinated. He was shot and mortally wounded on Good Friday, April 14, 1865 by
John Wilkes Booth in Ford's
Theatre.
