10、The Lincoln Memorial in Washington,D.C.Abraham Lincoln:From Log Cabin to the White House Level Z256We think of Abraham Lincoln as a great American folk hero and tell many stories and legends about him.He is often pictured as tall,lanky,and solemn.He is remembered as a“common man”who was born in a lo

11、g cabin in Kentucky with little regular schooling.Yet he became a great lawyer,speaker,and political leader.His eloquent speeches about freedom,justice,and uniting all Americans are carved in stone at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,D.C.His belief was simple:“As I would not be a slave,so I would

12、not be a master.This expresses my idea of democracy.”The Early Years Abraham Lincoln was born to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln on February 12,1809,on a small log-cabin farm near Hodgenville,Kentucky.After moving to nearby Knob Creek,Abe and his older sister,Sarah,went to school for short periods du

13、ring the winters.His mother,Nancy,encouraged their“eddication,”but his father,Tom,wanted Abe to help with chores.When Abe was seven,the family moved to Indiana,hoping for a better life.Two years after Tom built a new log cabin,Nancy became ill with“milk sickness”and died.Abe and Sarah mourned the de

14、ath of their hard-working,loving mother.Soon after,Abes father married Sarah Bush Johnston,a widow and mother of three whom Tom had known in Kentucky.With love and care,she created a warm life for Abe and Sarah.She encouraged Abe as he grew into a tall,awkward youth.He spent much time in the woods u

16、House Level Z278Abe went to school for only a few weeks in the winters,walking 18 miles(29 km)daily.Mostly he educated himself by borrowing books and newspapers from neighbors and travelers.These were frontier days when people moved westward,following Daniel Boone,Johnny Appleseed,and other pioneers

17、.Their stories,and the books he read,sparked ideas of a world larger than Abes backwoods.They prepared him for adulthood and his political career.As a teenager,Abe,now a strong 6 feet 4 inches(2 m),traveled down the Mississippi on a flatboat loaded with produce.He floated,steering with a pole,to the

18、 busy port of New Orleans,where he saw the citys wonders and people of many colors and nationalities.For the first time,Abe saw black men,women,and children chained at slaveholding pens and auction blocks to be bought and sold.After Abes return,his father again moved the family westward to central I

19、llinois near the town of Decatur.Abe helped his father build a new log cabin,and soon after,left the homestead at age 22.In the frontier village of New Salem,Abe worked various jobs,including storekeeper,surveyor,and carpenter.He became well known as a wrestler and as a skilled orator in the New Sal

20、em Debating Society.He ran for the Illinois state legislature,losing in 1832 but succeeding two years later.A lawyer and fellow legislator,John Todd Stuart,encouraged Abe to study law.Abe read law books,passed the exams in March 1837,and joined Stuarts law practice,moving to Springfield,where the Il

21、linois legislature met.Abe traveled on a flatboat to the city of New Orleans.Abes early campaigns made him a skilled communicator.Abraham Lincoln:From Log Cabin to the White House Level Z2910Law and PoliticsAbraham Lincolns views were based on his strong belief in democratic rights for the common ma

24、st son,Robert,was born.In 1846,Lincoln won the election for Illinois representative to the U.S.Congress and moved to Washington,D.C.,with his family.Lincoln was in Congress as the Northern and Southern states became more divided over the issue of slavery.The North depended on paid laborers in its fa

25、ctories and small farms,and believed in a strong central government.Slavery was outlawed in the Northern states.The South,whose economy revolved around“King Cotton”grown on large plantations,used slave labor.Slaves,primarily black Africans,were owned as property.Most lived under very poor conditions

26、 and were treated inhumanely.They had no personal or civil rights.The laws of Southern states allowed and protected slavery.The United States expanded as western territories applied for statehood.Would these states enter as“free”or“slave”states?The South wanted new lands for slave-grown cotton.The N

27、orth wanted the country to promote independent farms and paid labor.Lincoln opposed slavery,but as an Illinois representative in Washington,he believed that the practice was protected by the state laws in the South.However,he fought the spread of slavery in the western territories.Mary Todd Lincoln,

29、two years in Washington and for the next few years shared a successful law practice with his partner,William Herndon.Lincoln became known for his honesty,legal abilities,wit,and fine oratory.In February 1850,Abraham and Mary faced tragedy when their boy Eddie,nearly four years old,died of tuberculos

30、is.Both parents were deeply depressed,and Mary showed signs of emotional imbalance.In December of that year,a son named William Wallace was born,and three years later came another son,Thomas,or Tad for short.Lincoln was very close to his sons and was a proud and loving father.This building in Atlant

32、rbade slavery in these territories.The new law allowed the residents to decide whether they wanted to be free or slave states.This principle of letting the people decide,called“popular sovereignty,”was introduced by an old political rival of Lincolns,Stephen Douglas,now a U.S.senator from Illinois.L

33、incoln decided it was time to speak out against the spread of slavery and to try again for political office.He joined the new Republican Party,which opposed slavery,and was nominated in 1858 as their candidate for senator.His opponent was his old enemy,Senator Douglas.During the campaign,they held t

34、he Lincoln-Douglas debates,which captured the attention of the country.Lincoln,with great oratorical skill,exclaimed that slavery was causing a national crisis.“A house divided against itself cannot stand.I believe this government cannot endure,permanently half slave and half free.”Lincoln argued th

35、at blacks were entitled to the“right to life,liberty,and the pursuit of happiness,”just like whites.Douglas said that the Constitution guaranteed equality only to white citizens,not to blacks.Each state,he believed,had the right to decide whether it would be slave or free.Nebraska TerritoryKansas Te

37、he election,but the debates made him popular,particularly in the Republican Party.By 1860,he was the partys choice for president.In his campaign rallies and parades,he was called“Honest Abe,”the homespun rail-splitter,a man of the people who stood for equality and freedom.On November 6,1860,Lincoln

38、was elected president of the United States.The North and the western territories rejoiced;the South was outraged.Even before Lincolns inauguration on March 4,1861,seven Southern states voted to secede from the United States of America.By February,the pro-slavery states had established a government,t

39、he Confederate States of America,under President Jefferson Davis,and prepared for war.The War YearsPresident Lincoln,still hoping to avoid bloodshed,said in his inauguration speech,“In your hands,my dissatisfied countrymen,and not in mine,is the momentous issue of civil war.”But events moved swiftly

40、,and by April 14,Northern troops had surrendered Fort Sumter after South Carolina cannons fired on the fort.Both sides,the Union and the Confederacy,quickly mobilized,calling volunteers and collecting arms and supplies.President Lincoln,from his home and office in the Union city of Washington,D.C.,c

42、1718The Souths superior military leadership defeated Union forces in the first battle at Bull Run.Lincoln struggled to find strong commanders to lead the Union troops throughout the war.Under General George B.McClellan,the Union armies had some successes,but by 1862 they were stopped by Confederate

43、General Robert E.Lee.Although Union forces controlled New Orleans and the Mississippi River,there were few victories.Lincoln took over more of the military planning as the North called for action.Enormous numbers of young soldiers on both sides were killed,wounded,or missing as the war continued int

45、General McClellan at Antietam.General McClellan would soon be replaced.The Union lost the second battle of Bull Run,and at Antietam both sides suffered the bloodiest engagement of the war.Powerful Republican senators urged President Lincoln to make the abolition of slavery a war goal.They argued tha

46、t to fight the war successfully,the Union needed to remove the issue that caused the war.Lincoln was finally convinced that as president,he had the authority to order abolition in the South.On January 1,1863,the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect,freeing“thenceforth and forever”all the slave

47、s in the South.Freed blacks rushed to join the Union army,and by the end of the war,over 180,000 former slaves had volunteered.Company E,4th U.S.Colored Infantry was composed of former slaves and other free black men.Historical PerspectiveLincolns Emancipation Proclamation was only the first step to
