Sadly our president, Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated by a bullet into his head from John Wilkes Booth, who was actually an actor, on April 14, 1865. He was shot when he was busy watching a play at Ford's Theater with his wife. All our doctors tended to him immediately and took him to a building across the street from the Theater but, the next day he passed away. Lincoln left his wife Mary Todd and his only living child that survived compared to 3 other children.
We will always remember Abe because of him abolish slavery from the United States. If he did not do anything about it, then we would probably still have slaves trapped in shackles stuck in your basement. Although Lincoln was born in poverty as a young boy in Kentucky, he went through all these hardships when he was little but, nothing stopped him from reading or getting further education. When he grew older he went up for elections and finally won, also deciding to start the Civil War. Please all remember his good presidency, long legs, top hat, black suit, and his kind soul.
