Abraham Lincoln was the president of the United States
during hard times. The people of the United States argued
about many problems. The most important issue was slavery.
Lincoln was against slavery. But, he wanted to keep the
country together. He did not want the southern states to
secede
(suh-SEED) from the Union. These disagreements
and others led to the Civil War.

Lincoln’s Early Years
In 1830, when Lincoln was 21, he moved to Illinois.
There he had many jobs. He even studied law books and
became a lawyer. Lincoln ran for a county political office
but lost. He did not give up. Two years later, he won a seat
in the Illinois government.
Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Kentucky.
The Lincoln family did not like slavery. When Lincoln
was seven, his family moved to Indiana. Slavery was not
allowed there.
Lincoln only went to school for one year. He liked to
read, and so he studied on his own. It was not until he was
an adult that he finally had a teacher help him. Lincoln was
very smart and learned things quickly.
