Lincoln didn't drop out of school because he never went to school. Lincoln grew up in the Kentucky wilderness and was born in a log cabin. He learned to read when his stepmother taught him and he taught himself law. His father had Lincoln as a young man work for the other farmers in the area. He was a tall strong boy and had the nickname "the rail splitter." In this time in history a father could do this and keep any wages that were earned until they reached 21.
