Lecture 3: abraham lincoln & life in the antebellum north. During many times, lincoln was hated in the south throughout his lifetime. His purpose was to keep the united states in tact, to make sure the south doesn"t break away. Lincoln was born on february 12, 1809 (same as darwin, during napoleonic wars). Born into a world of uncertainty, a country that had barely been founded; in a log cabin in kentucky, being a side of lincoln"s authenticity. Relocated in his youth to indiana, and his schooling were limited (1 year). Ambitious, dedicated to self-improvement, and read all the time (voracious reader). Lincoln was also a master storyteller: told stories about pioneers, people on the road, and loved people"s laughter. Lincoln was a very thin and tall looking man, and suffered from a muscle condition. In his adulthood, lincoln relocated to illinois new salem, where he studied law, and elected to springfield illinois.
