The man who ended slavery in America, Abraham LIncoln was born on this day two hundred and sixteen years ago.

History:

Lincoln, one of America’s most admired presidents, grew up a member of a poor family in Kentucky and Indiana. He attended school for only one year, but thereafter read on his own in a continual effort to improve his mind. As an adult, he lived in Illinois and performed a variety of jobs including stints as a postmaster, surveyor and shopkeeper, before entering politics.

He served in the Illinois legislature from 1834 to 1842 and in Congress from 1847-1849, and then became an attorney. In 1842, Lincoln married Mary Todd; together, the pair raised four sons.

Just for fun here's the list of coincidences between Lincoln and Kennedy that MAGA/QAnon probably believe there is some conspiracy behind both assassinations.

We all know someone who is very jealous of Lincoln.
