The Boyhood of Abraham Lincoln (clip)

Beginning life in a log cabin in Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln has no idea he will end up in the White House. At 9, he takes a dangerous journey up the Ohio River to settle in Indiana with his family. Lincoln, encouraged to educate himself, does so by reading. As a ferryman, an experience with a lawsuit gets him interested in the law. A trip down the Mississippi River to New Orleans brings him into contact with a slave auction and helps shape his feelings against slavery. Abe Lincoln, feeling homely, awkward and unsure of his future, is a modest but ambitious youth, well-liked for his good-humored company but with no idea of how far his ambition will take him. Part of the Boyhood Series, which chronicles the childhoods of some of Americas most fascinating citizens. (2nd Edition)

@SSArcher11great people will always have enemies like the south hates abe and also the kkk hate him and many other great leaders will never be completely praise as they don't like what they think thats just the way life is for everyone

[SSArcher11]

Americans are very proud of President Lincoln and the beautiful thing he did for us. Unfortunately, a few of us take pleasure in saying the most heartless things they can about this great man.
