introduction

Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, was born on February 12, 1809 in Hudgenville, Kentucky, USA. Being the son of a poor family who is far from politics, he became the prime minister of the country twice in a row and succeeded in establishing democracy by eliminating the tradition of selling people.

early life

Abraham Lincoln was born into a poor family in rural America. His father used to support the family by doing carpentry and hunting. His mother was a housewife. Abraham's mother sent him and his sister to study after school started in a small wooden house in his village, where there were no schools. Mother encouraged Abraham to study and become a good person. When Abraham was 7 years old, his family moved to a river in Indiana. There were no schools. Therefore, he was forced to leave his studies as a child and work in the fields.

In 1818, an epidemic of famine and disease spread throughout the country. His mother died in that epidemic. After the death of their mother, their condition became more miserable. When Lincoln's father went hunting, he would stay with his sister in a secluded house by the river. He was only nine years old at that time. Being of a young age, he was taking care of and protecting his sister. After some time, the house became orderly and loving again with the arrival of another mother of Lincoln.

When Lincoln was 11 years old, a school opened near home. He started going to school only with the efforts of his stepmother. Due to poverty, he had to work in the fields and could not always go to school. He did not study for a whole year in school, but he used to read books voraciously. He used to travel far and wide to find and return books. He worked in the fields all day and read by the light of the fire at night. He used to write in a circle on a wooden sable and when he was full of writing, he would erase on one side and start writing there again. When Abraham was 19 years old, his family moved to New Orleans by way of the Mississippi River. There he first learned about the Kamara custom in America. He felt very sad when he saw people being sold.

political journey

At the age of twenty-two, when Abraham worked as a clerk in a store, he began to put his arguments and ideas before people. Due to his personality and the arguments he made regarding the governance, everyone started advising him to become a member of the state legislative assembly.

Abraham joined politics at the age of 25. In 1834, he was elected to the Illinois State Legislature. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly 3 times. Interested in reading books, he also got permission to practice law. At the age of 37, he was elected as a member of the lower house of parliament. Taking advantage of that position, he widely opposed the Kamara system there. He started to convince all the people against the Kamara system. He lost the election in 1858, but gained fame for his arguments against the Kamara system.

success

Lincoln became the sixteenth president of the United States for the first time in 1860 when the country was in a state of great turmoil. As America was divided due to mutual differences, the Kamara system increased. This made Lincoln sad. However, without giving up, he persisted with the aim of uniting the country and eliminating the slave system. In 1863, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation to all slaves. His statement of 1863, "For the people, by the people, the government of the people will never perish from the earth", became famous in history.

Despite various accusations, he became president for the second time in 1864. Lincoln succeeded in establishing peace in 1865, which led to cheers and cheers across the country. He was known as a political hero even in the 1970s. His history of colonialism and nationalism is not only respected and appreciated at present. On the fifth day after the establishment of peace, he was shot by a man named John Wilkes Booth while he was celebrating by watching a dance. He died on April 15, 1865 shortly after being shot. The world has lost a democratic leader.

Life is a struggle, and success is the reward of that struggle. Patience, determination and perseverance climb the steps of the ladder of success. While climbing the ladder, if you slip and fall down or if you are unable to climb up, you should muster courage and try to raise your feet.
