- By Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, born February 12, 1809, was the 16th President of the United States. Many historians and politicians believe he was the greatest president in terms of leadership, political acumen and character. Lincoln's biography is the stuff of legend. He rose from poverty to become a lawyer, leader and statesman, primarily by virtue of his own determination. During his presidency, Lincoln brought the nation through its greatest challenge, the Civil War, and helped it emerge united if not unscathed. It is impossible to overstate Lincoln's influence on American history from the mid-1800s to the present day.
Abraham Lincoln was born in LaRue County, Ky., on Sinking Springs Farm. His parents, Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, had moved into the one-room log cabin just two months before Abraham's birth. He was the couple's second child. They had an older daughter, Sarah. Later a younger son, Thomas, would come along, but the boy would not live beyond infancy.
His father was a farmer and carpenter by trade. When Abe was born, Thomas owned or controlled a number of farms in the area but lost most of the land due to property deed disputes. The family moved to Indiana two years after the boy's birth to start over.
Unlike Kentucky, Indiana did not allow residents to own slaves. It was a "free" territory. In addition, Abe's parents belonged to a strict Separate Baptists church, which prohibited drinking, dancing and slavery. Although the Lincolns chose Hurricane Township, Ind. as their new home because it had more reasonable land ownership statues, the fact that it was a free state likely influenced Abe's future stance on slavery.
Thomas Lincoln was a hard worker who supported his family through farming, cabinet making and other carpentry. He was also a community leader as a land and livestock owner. In Hurricane Township, Thomas managed to recoup his losses in Kentucky and acquired 80 acres of land where he founded the Little Pigeon Creek community.
When Abraham was just nine years old, he lost his mother to milk sickness, which results from drinking milk tainted with white snakeroot. His sister Sarah, 11 years old at the time, had to take over her mother's role in the family and became Abe's chief caretaker.
A year later in 1819, Thomas remarried. His bride was Sally Bush Johnson, a widow with three children. Abe and his stepmother became close over the years, and he called her Mother.
Abraham Lincoln preferred reading and writing over farm work, which many around him at the time considered to be laziness. Even so, he educated himself for the most part, with help from time to time from itinerant teachers who passed through town. All in all, Abe had only about 12 months' worth of formal instruction growing up. His early reading material included the Bible, "The Pilgrim's Progress," "Aesop's Fables" and biographies of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.
As a teenager, Abe earned a reputation for physical strength by besting the leader of the Clary's Grove boys, a group of local bullies. In addition to his farm chores at home, he did odd jobs and gave any earnings to his father to help with family maintenance.
The family moved to Macon County, Ill., in 1830 when Abraham was 21 years of age. He went with them on this move, but as the family prepared to relocate to another part of Illinois the next year, Abe decided it was time he was out on his own.
He lived in the town of New Salem for the next six years. He held various jobs, including boatman, surveyor, soldier, rail splitter and postmaster. He owned and operated a general store. In 1834, Lincoln ran for and was elected as a representative to the Illinois General Assembly. He earned his license to practice law two years later.
After moving to Springfield, Ill., in 1937, Abe became a junior partner in the law firm of John Todd Stuart. Through Stuart, he met Mary Todd, a visiting cousin from Springfield. She was the daughter of a Kentucky slave owner, Robert Smith Todd.
Abe and Mary began courting three years later, and Abe asked her to marry him in 1840. The wedding took place in Springfield in 1842 when Abe was 33 and Mary just 23 years old.
At first, the newlyweds lived in a second-floor room above a local bar, the Globe Tavern. While there, they welcomed their first child, Robert Todd Lincoln. In 1844, Abe and Mary bought a house near his law office. That same year, Abe established his own law office and took on William Herndon as a junior partner.
The couple's second son, Edward Baker Lincoln, was born in 1846. Soon thereafter, Abe won a seat in the United States Congress as a representative for Illinois. He and his family moved to Washington D.C. in 1847. The following year, Mary took their sons and left Washington, returning to their home in Springfield. She said she believed that their departure would allow Abe to give his full attention to his work, although her husband disagreed. In 1849, Lincoln introduced a bill that would abolish slavery in Washington D.C.
In February the following year, the Lincolns' youngest son, Edward, died of what historians believe was tuberculosis. The boy was not quite four years old. In December, Mary gave birth to another son, William Wallace Lincoln. The couple added yet another son to their family two years later. They named him Thomas and called him Tad.
Abe, whose constituents had been regularly re-electing him to the House, made a bid for the Senate in 1854, but dropped out of the race in favor of the front-runner, Lyman Trumbull. Lincoln did get the nomination for the Senate in 1858, delivering the first of his most well-known speeches at the Illinois Republican Convention with the famous line about the house divided.
His opponent for the Senate seat was Stephen Douglas, and over the next few months, they would engage in the Lincoln-Douglas debates in towns throughout the state. Although Douglas ultimately prevailed in the senate race, Lincoln won a presidential nomination in 1860 at the Republican National Convention in Chicago.
Voters elected Lincoln in November 1860. He chose Maine's Hannibal Hamlin as his vice president.
The first state, South Carolina, seceded from the Union late 1860. Three months later, a coalition of southern states established The Confederate States of America with president Jefferson Davis, effectively splitting the nation in two.
In March, Abraham Lincoln officially became the 16th President of the United States at the age of 52. In April, before he and his family had the chance to settle into the White House, Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter in North Carolina, and the Civil War was underway.
Abe's 11-year-old son, William, died in February 1862. The cause of death was likely typhoid fever.
In September 1862, Lincoln released the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation , legislation that would free those who were enslaved. It would be effective as of January 1, 1863. Congress subsequently passed the Thirteenth Amendment, also promoted by Lincoln, in 1865, which put an end to legal slavery in the U.S.
Meanwhile, throughout the next couple of years until the spring of 1865, the Civil War raged on. Lincoln delivered several well-known speeches at battle sites, including the Gettysburg Address in November, 1863.
President Lincoln won re-election and delivered his second inaugural speech in March 1865. This time, he tapped Andrew Johnson to be his vice president. A month later, General Robert E. Lee, head of the Confederate forces, conceded defeat, and the war was over.
On April 14, 1865, Confederate spy John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln during a play at the Ford Theater in Washington D.C. The president died the next morning.
As a self-educated man who rose from humble beginnings to the highest office in the nation, Abraham Lincoln's personal life story is a powerful inspiration to others throughout history. As a politician who led the country through its most trying times since its inception, President Lincoln stands as an icon of resolve, wisdom and compassion. His legacy remains just as influential as it was in the post-Civil War era following his untimely death.
Historians view Lincoln's greatest contributions as president to be preserving the Union throughout the war between the states, his championship of democracy and the abolishment of slavery. Through his courageous leadership in a time of extreme crisis, Abraham Lincoln showed strength and determination. Through his notable addresses to the nation, often on the sites of bloody battles, the president demonstrated his commitment to the Union and compassion for the loss of life. Despite his own losses, including a son who died during his presidency, Lincoln managed to keep the welfare of the nation at the forefront of his political actions.
Lincoln's humanitarian commitment to the emancipation of American slaves earned him the enmity of many and certainly contributed to death. However, it is this commitment, along with his solid leadership through crisis and accomplishments in the face of the nation's strife, that keeps his legacy alive throughout the world and makes him the most admired U.S. president in history.

It turns out Honest Abe may have had a little secret.
A new documentary is exploring the long-held belief that former president Abraham Lincoln was gay. The trailer for the film, Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln , was released on Wednesday.
The film examines the president’s private life, as well as his life prior to being elected president in 1860, according to People . The film features interviews with several historians, including Hugh Ryan, the author of When Brooklyn Was Queer , who appears in the film’s trailer.
" Lover Of Men examines the intimate life of America’s most consequential president, Abraham Lincoln," the film’s official synopsis reads. "As told by preeminent Lincoln scholars and never before seen photographs and letters, the film details Lincoln’s romantic relationships with men."
The synopsis says that Lover of Men “challenges the audience to consider why we hold such a limited view of human sexuality,” and “serves as an examination of American intolerance.”
Lincoln’s sexuality has long been a subject of speculation; it even has its own Wikipedia page . Magazines have dedicated long-form features to the subject, and a 2005 book took a deep dive into his liaisons. The 16th president’s queerness has also been the foundation of several fictional portrayals of him, including the novel Courting Mr. Lincoln , as well as the current Broadway smash hit Oh, Mary! Written by comedian Cole Escola , the show imagines Lincoln as a closeted gay man and his wife, Mary Todd, as a cabaret star yearning to regain the spotlight.
Weren’t the clues there all along? Wasn’t his stovepipe hat a phallic symbol? He died in a theater … so did I watching Cats the Jellicle Ball for the first time. Isn’t his marriage to Mary Todd just the human embodiment of this tweet:

Theater | review: “oh, mary” on broadway is about an unhinged, hilarious mary todd lincoln.
Indeed, the massed forces of the Confederacy are no match for Cole Escola’s chaotic version of Mary Todd Lincoln, a wild-eyed wannabe cabaret star marinated in whisky, paint thinner and self-delusion and the star of an uproariously anachronistic summer farce that has arrived on the Main Stem from edgier points downtown.
Sure, a top ticket price of $300 is pushing it — heavens to Mary, these crazy Broadway prices! — for a show with an 80-minute runtime, an intentionally cheesy set and a cast of five. At times, it feels like you are watching an extended “Saturday Night Live” sketch making campy hay by deconstructing early U.S. history and imagining the battles of a closeted gay Abe (not so much of a stretch) and his unhinged spouse (no stretch at all).
But if you spend your entertainment dollar purely on the basis of laughs per minute, this show’s a bargain, given how many howlers roll out from the stage. The laughs are like Union soldiers crossing a hill in Gettysburg. Abe and Mary are part Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara, part George and Martha, part the old vaudevillians George Burns and Gracie Allen, all running together pell-mell toward the Copacabana.
“I hate those horses,” says Mary. “They laugh at me.”
“We’ve been over this,” says Conrad Ricamora’s long-suffering Abe, technically billed here only as Mary’s Husband. “They’re neighing. Horses neigh.”
“You always take their side,” says Mary, pouting.
Maybe you had to be there, but gadzooks that was funny. Point of fact, pretty much everything in this show is hilarious.
Firstly, Escola’s writing is so old-school whip-smart as to recall those Golden Age TV comedies a la “Laughter on the 23rd Floor.” You’ve heard of Peak TV. Broadway is now seeing a new golden age of the comedic writer-performer, masters of the funny monologue (with room for sidekicks). These shows star their writers’ own sweet selves and require neither overtime nor a $20 million budget, bar bill aside. They’re as hot as Mary’s mysterious acting teacher (hmm, James Scully), or Abe’s young lover, Simon (Tony Macht), whose ministrations extract a steep price from the bearded sensualist.
Second, the director Sam Pinkleton moves the show at such a lightening pace that we’re all on to the next laugh before you start to wonder about the merits of the one before or even dare to question the whole tawdry enterprise. Blackouts come so hard upon the lines of dialogue that the actors have to rush to get their gags out, which makes them all the funnier because it both raises the stakes and keys into one of the key ingredients of great farce: the mutual experience of the chaotic.
Third, Escola understands that comedic characters like the Wednesday Addams-like chaos agent they’ve forged here must be empathetic. From all I’ve written above, it no doubt sounds like the show mocks Mary Todd Lincoln, and so it does, notwithstanding a biography filled with what we would now call mental health issues. But “Oh, Mary!” also takes a cue from “Six” and empowers her by actualizing her imagined desires and mocking the men and women (Bianca Leigh is the remaining cast member) who hold her back.
The idea, clearly, is that you leave with the sense she just was born at the wrong moment. A few decades later, she could have been Patti LuPone.
Between the clever plot points (which I won’t ruin here in any detail), I started musing on what Mary Todd Lincoln would actually have thought of this posthumous treatment. On thing is for sure. We can guess almost nothing about the trajectory of the world after our deaths.
I’ll say this, though, Escola has arrived at exactly the right moment.
They have the perfect director, the right supporting cast (Ricamora is both funny in his own right and fully cognizant of whose name is on the marquee) and, crucially, enough crazy political chaos going on outside the theater’s doors that the wackier this show gets, it never feels too much removed from reality.

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced this week that the Library is conferring the 2024 Prize for American Fiction on acclaimed author James McBride. He will accept the prize at the National Book Festival on Aug. 24.
One of the Library’s most prestigious awards, the annual Prize for American Fiction honors a literary writer whose body of work is distinguished not only for its mastery of the art, but also for its originality of thought and imagination.
“I’m honored to bestow the Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction on a writer as imaginative and knowing as James McBride,” Hayden said. “McBride knows the American soul deeply, reflecting our struggles and triumphs in his fiction, which so many readers have intimately connected with. I, also, am one of his enthusiastic readers.”
The award seeks to commend strong, unique, enduring voices that — throughout consistently accomplished careers — have told us something essential about the American experience.
“I wish my mom were still alive to know about this,” McBride said. “I’m delighted and honored. Does it mean I can use the Library? If so, I’m double thrilled.”
McBride is the author of the bestselling novel “Deacon King Kong”; “The Good Lord Bird,” winner of the 2013 National Book Award for Fiction; “The Color of Water”; “Song Yet Sung”; the story collection “Five-Carat Soul”; and the James Brown biography “Kill ’Em and Leave.”
His debut novel, “Miracle at St. Anna,” was turned into a 2008 film. In 2016, McBride was awarded the National Humanities Medal.
He is also a musician, a composer and a current distinguished writer-in-residence at New York University.
McBride’s most recent bestselling novel, “The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store,” received the 2023 Kirkus Prize for Fiction and was named Barnes and Noble’s 2023 Book of the Year.
The National Book Festival will take place from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. The theme is “Books Build Us Up.”
On Aug. 1, McBride will participate in a virtual interview with PBS Books as part of a series previewing 2024 festival authors.
McBride has appeared at multiple National Book Festivals in past years, most recently in 2020, when he spoke about his novel “Deacon King Kong.”
