This storybook chronicles the life and achievements of Abraham Lincoln. Growing up on the frontier with little formal education, Lincoln pursued a career in politics and law, becoming a significant political figure in Illinois. Lincoln's strong opposition to slavery and his reputation as "Honest Abe" bolstered his eventual election as the 16th President of the United States. His presidency was marked by the Civil War, during which he labored to reunite the nation. He signed the Emancipation Proclamation to end slavery. Tragically, Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, but his legacy and the fulfillment of his vision for a united nation and freedom for all continue to endure.
