His dad, Thomas Lincoln, couldn't read and could scarcely sign his name. He was a stern man whom youthful Abe never preferred in particular. Himself destined to ruined guardians, Thomas Lincoln was a rancher and craftsman who moved the family from country Kentucky to outskirts Indiana when youthful Abe was seven years of age.
Thomas constructed a rough 360-square foot log lodge where he lived with his significant other, Abe, and senior little girl, Sarah.
Lincoln's mom, the ill-conceived Nancy Hanks, passed on when Lincoln was just nine years of age. In spite of the fact that Lincoln later said that he owed everything to her direction, he only from time to time specified her in his discussion or compositions. Thomas Lincoln wedded Sarah Bush Johnston not long after Nancy's demise, and youthful Abe quickly reinforced with his stepmother. A splendid lady, she supported Abe's instruction, and agreed with his stance in the regular contentions the young man had with his dad.
Rustic life was troublesome in America's outskirts amid the mid 1800s. Neediness, cultivate errands, diligent work, and perusing by the light of the chimney commanded youthful Abe's life until the point when he was seventeen, when he looked for some kind of employment on a ferryboat. Getting a charge out of the waterway, he assembled a flatboat two years after the fact and ran a heap of homestead create down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. Offering the pontoon for its timber, he at that point returned home. After achieving home he obediently, yet angrily, gave his full income to his dad.
At the point when Abe was twenty-one, the family again moved, this opportunity to Illinois only west of Decatur. The father and child fabricated another log lodge very little greater than the one they had lived in previously. Following this move, Abe constructed a moment flatboat and made another summary stream, yet this time as a free administrator. After that pull, he lived without anyone else, moving to the town of New Salem, Illinois in 1831.
