Abe Lincoln

I feel bad for Abe Lincoln. He looked funny, had a crazy wife, his son died, and in the end he got shot. He was tall and stuck out, he then wore a tall hat which made him stick out even more. His wife Mary Todd Lincoln spent the nations money on curtains and extravagant parties. One time she threw a huge unnecesary party. Her son got sick with typhoid. Not a little cough or the flu, but typhoid. Did she cancel her party? No. Two days later Lincoln's son died. Lincoln was depressed. His son died so he had a right to be depressed. Despite the depressing parts of Lincoln's life, he still managed to abolish slavery and become a historical icon.
