The biography of Abraham Lincoln follows the journey of Americas 16th President. Power of education is a theme that is constantly brought up and is so hugely important for Lincoln when finding his way into the White House.
Anybody can have an influence over someone’s life. In Abraham Lincoln’s life his mother was the main source. His mother was a bright well-educated lady, she brought up Abraham and his sister by reading the stories of the bible and slowly teaching them to read and write.
When Abraham’s mother passed away when he was only nine years old his ability to write became something of great importance to young Lincoln. He was outraged that he mother could not have a fitting religious service; it was then that he wrote his first letter.
