Best Answer

Abraham Lincoln earliest influences were his parents. They needed his help on the farm, and as such, his time in school was very minimum. Thus, his parents encouraged him to be an avid reader. Two of his most valued books were on George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. After his mother died and his father remarried, Lincoln came to admire and respect his step mother.

His education was sporadic as a kid. He studied under Zachariah Riney, Caleb Hazel, Andrew Crawford (who loaned him Life of Washington) and James Swaney.

When he was getting into politics, Henry Clay was his mentor and dear friend.

He met and became friends with Cyrus Edward when he served in the military. Edward later became an Illinois State Senator.

He was a gentle giant. His life story was inspiring because he essentially came from a poor farm boy to become one of the most important persons in American history if not the world. He was definitely a self made man. He showed how a principled person could have a great affect on the world.
