Abraham Lincoln
A lawyer and an advocate for making slavery illegal, Abraham 
Lincoln was president of the U.S. during the American Civil War that 
ended with the abolishment of slavery.
*
It’s not always easy to do the right thing, especially when some people are threatening to 
kill you if you don’t back down!
But Abraham Lincoln was the kind of person who stuck to his principles, no matter what.
Abe Lincoln was always known for “doing the right thing.” His small store in Kentucky 
became the most popular in town because people knew they could trust him. That’s how 
he earned his nickname - “Honest Abe.”
All through his life, Lincoln valued integrity more than anything else. He insisted that 
people who worked for him must be honest and fair.
Although he was born in poverty, Lincoln pulled himself up through life. He studied at 
night to become a lawyer. He was popular and well-liked enough to get into politics, and 
that’s where Abe Lincoln’s sense of what was right and wrong rose to the top.
Slavery was still legal in the United States, and Lincoln was one of many people who 
believed it was simply wrong. He gave powerful speeches calling for an end to slavery.
The issue was threatening to tear the country apart by the time Lincoln was elected 
president. The southern and northern states had opposing views on the subject and the 
U.S. Civil War began.


It was a long war with many casualties. Soon, Lincoln was unpopular in many parts of 
the north; in the south, he was simply hated.
Even after the northern forces won the war and Lincoln was president of the whole 
country again, many people in the south wished him dead. That hatred only got worse 
when Lincoln kept his word and freed the slaves. But even though he was getting death 
threats, Honest Abe stuck to his principles.
One night Lincoln went with his wife to watch a play. At the theater, an actor who didn’t 
like Lincoln’s politics shot and killed him. It was a great shock to the nation. The country 
had lost its strong but gentle leader.
That was more than 140 years ago, but Abraham Lincoln is still remembered as one of 
the greatest leaders in American history - the man who ended slavery in the United States 
by doing the right thing, no matter what the cost.
