Family and Childhood
Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lincoln had Abraham Lincoln, in Hardin County Kentucky, February 12th, 1809. Abrahams name came from his paternal grandfather and he doesn’t have a middle name. His father was an uneducated farmer, but was very respected by his peers and bought his own land. He has an older sister Sarah who was born in 1807 and younger brother Thomas. Abraham Lincoln had a rough childhood growing up, due to all the deaths in his family and moving to several times. (Kentucky, Indiana, to Illinois) When he got to Illinois he helped build a new cabin and cleared land and planted crops. He didn’t have much education except a little more than 18 months of itinerant teachers. This didn’t stop him from learning, he was always reading books, and later then attended Law school.

Lincoln/Douglas Debates
The debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas are widely known for being heated in the arguments over slavery. They are also referred to as the “Great Debates. These debates ran from August 21st until October 15 1858. During the course of the seven debates Douglas advocated from Popular sovereignty, which allowed for individuals to permit or prohibit slavery. These debates were in regards for gaining their senate seat. In the end Douglas was re-elected by the legislature despite Lincoln winning the popular vote. The widespread publicity of the debates raised Lincolns’ profile allowing him to be nominated for the presidential election in 1860.

Entering Politics
Lincoln called himself a “prairie lawyer” and focused on his law practice in the 1850s. He served one term in Congress from 1848-1849. He joined the new Republican Party and after his loss in the Great Debates he was nominated for the Republican candidate in the 1860s election. Lincoln won the election without the support of a single southern state. Lincolns win in the election is one of the primary reasons the civil war broke out in 1861. Return to Room
