Where did Abraham Lincoln go to high school?
Abraham Lincoln did not attend high school as we know it today. He was largely self-educated and had limited formal schooling. Lincoln's education primarily consisted of reading books and studying on his own, making him a largely self-taught individual.
What did Abraham Lincoln believe in?
Abraham Lincoln was skeptical about organized religion, although he participated in church with his wife. Politically, he adhered to the beliefs of the Founding Fathers, especially with regard to representative democracy.
Was Lincoln a good leader?
Definitely! Abraham Lincoln was a great leader. First off, Abraham Lincoln started off as a a poor boy living in a log cabin (as you all probably know). He was passionate, independent, and honest, already showing good leadership skills at a young age. He wasn't able to go to school often and moved around a few times. He basically taught himself to read and write.Secondly, he started off his own law firm with a friend of his. Coming from the poor background he was born in, starting his own law firm was quite an achievement, become president even more so! He was a great lawyer, like most presidents of the United States.And thirdly, he did something very few men had the ability to do, he united the country! Slavery had a torn apart the country, but Abraham Lincoln was able to unite the country and endslavery. Even though many people (very many people) ridiculed his actions, he stood firm and did what he thought was right for the country! And now look, blacks are treated equally! Forget Martin Luther King Jr. (well don't forget him, just set him aside for a second) if Abraham Lincoln hadn't become president who knew what this country (United States) would be like right now!So yes! Abraham Lincoln was a great leader (possibly the best) very few men have a accomplished what he has done!
Did Abraham Lincoln have access to a typewriter?
From 1829 to 1870, many printing or typing machines were patented by inventors in Europe and America, but none went into commercial production. Abraham Lincoln lived from 1809 to 1865. In 1865, John Pratt, of Centre, Alabama, built a machine called the Pterotype which appeared in an 1867 Scientific American article[5] and inspired other inventors. Between 1864 and 1867 Peter Mitterhofer, a carpenter from South Tyrol (former part of Austria) developed several models and a fully functioning prototype typewriter in 1867.[6] It is conceivable, but unlikely, that Lincoln had access to a typewriter. If he had it is unlikely that he would have been able to use it with any degree of dexterity - he could have written quicker by hand.
