and 27 he was a storekeeper, a postmaster, and a surveyor. In 1836, he became a lawyer in Springfield, Illinois. In 1834 Lincoln was elected to the Illinois state legislature, where he served four two – year terms and became known for his frankness, honesty and ability to tell droll stories. He then served one term in the U.S. House of Representatives – from 1847 to 1849. Lincoln opposed the extension of slavery in an unsuccessful aid for the U.S. Senate in 1858. After much hard work, he was elected President of the United States in 1861, just a few months before the Civil War began. He was the wartime leader of the country. Believing that slavery was wrong, he put forth the Emancipation Proclamation which freed all slaves, in 1863. Later that year, he gave the immortal Gettysburg Address during the dedications of the national cemetery at the site of a great, but costly, Union Victory. Lincoln was the first President to be assassinated. He was shot by actor John Whilkes Booth in Washington, D.C., on April 14, 1865, while watching a play at Ford’s Theater. Lincoln is considered one of America’s greatest and most loved leaders.
