When Abraham Lincoln was a kid he worked on a farm.  His family moved to Indiana for a better life.  Abraham Lincoln helped cut down trees.  Abraham Lincoln lived in a log cabin.  Abraham Lincoln liked to read.  During the Civil War Lincoln was President.  Abraham Lincoln got shot in a theater.

As a boy Abraham Lincoln worked and helped his father at a farm.  Then Abraham Lincoln taught himself about the law.  He decided to become a lawyer.  He gave great speeches.  People voted for him as President.  But people wanted slavery so the Civil War started.  Many people died.  But in the end Lincoln helped the North win the war and abolish slavery.  It was a week after the Civil War.  Lincoln went to the theater.  A man named John Wilkes Booth hated Lincoln for freeing the slaves.  Booth snuck into the theater and shot President Lincoln.  Lincoln died across the theater.  We will remember him by a penny and 5 dollar bill.  Good bye Abraham Lincoln and may you rest in peace like the other Great Presidents  and God.

Abraham Lincoln
He was an honest man who card for everyone!  He was 6 feet, 4 inches tall.  He was born in a log cabin.  He was President during the Civil War.  A girl told him he would look better with a beard.  He was born on February 12, 1809 and he freed slavery.  And he won the President election.  A few weeks after the Civil War he went to the theater and got shot. Boom!

I know about Abraham Lincoln.  He lived in a log cabin in the woods.  He was born in 1809.  He died in the theater.  A person did not want to follow his direction.  He hated him, he didn’t like him a lot.  So he shot him in the theater.
