Abraham Lincoln was an American politician and lawyer who served as the sixteenth president of the United States of America from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865.

1) Born in Hodgenville, Kentucky, Lincoln grew up between the states of Kentucky and Indiana, in what was then the Far West. He was a largely self-taught man who became a lawyer in Illinois, leader of the Whig Party and was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives, in which he remained for eight years.

2) Although Abraham Lincoln grew up in a family of Baptist Christians, he never joined any church or explicitly professed his religious beliefs. However, he made numerous references to God in his discourses, referring to him as "Father" or "Almighty."
