Abraham Lincoln

When Abraham Lincoln was a kid, he loved books. He was a very smart student. One day his Father took him to town. He saw slaves being sold like cattle. He never forgot what he saw. Abe did not like slavery. He wanted slaves to be free. He went and gave many speeches. He is great because he did not like slavery and now all blacks are free. Abraham Lincoln became the 16th president of the United States. As the president he made the law that all slaves should be free. John Wilkes Booth killed Abe. Because of Abe we don't have slaves anymore!
