Grew up poor and self-taught
Incorruptible eloquent

Lincoln grew up poor, thanks to his stepmother, free time to teach him arithmetic and language, laid the foundation of learning.

he was eleven, stepmother sent to Lincoln to go to school, but school was not a formal school, the students rarely, teacher to the class, the teacher left, school is closed, mostly in school hours Does not work in the winter. Lincoln is one such intermittent

received primary education for about a year, and then it never went to school, all knowledge is derived by him self.

When he went to work at the time, only two things pocket, one book, the second is food, until he enlisted twenty years old, sent to attack the Indians, but a month in the army, he never played a battle, be regarded as one of his regret.

Him into politics in 1832, when he was running for Illinois state senator, but failed, and later he began to study law, reading law books, and ultimately also received the Bar, while his successful re-election state legislators.

He, as state legislators and a lawyer, with integrity and honesty and well-known, often for the defense of the poor do not charge a penny in his court wit is second to none, and the other, he was very good at telling stories.

Famous in American history, "Douglas debate" several times that he and Douglas intense debate.

Douglas was the political star of the United States first class, money, standing, and political forces, he was slavery Democratic Party and the implementation of the representatives of the South, and Lincoln, it is agreed with the liberation of slaves.

Lincoln sent a challenge to the Douglas book, to require the latter to Illinois to campaign, while making a speech, you can start with Douglas speak once, and then by the Lincoln speech, and then by Douglas refuted.

in the campaign, two people almost all over the state, face to face debate many times, and each time have lost Douglas was disgraced.

particular equality issues in the debate in black and white, Lincoln's performance is outstanding, even Douglas deliberately make things difficult, he also won the same.

as one of these, Douglas asked him, since he really advocated black equality, why do not marry a black wife and white wife to marry it?

result, Lincoln neither haughty nor humble reply: "I'm older, I do not want to re-marry divorced his wife, but even if I have not married, I am not ready to marry a black wife. I think it should be allowed the freedom to marry a black girl To black men or white men, white men are free to marry white or black girl wife. should not interfere in such matters, which is equal. "

many debates both sides are winning the Lincoln, but Lincoln running for state legislators is lost, because Douglas used his money and political forces, bought a lot of votes, and barely won.
