## Bio

Born in a Kentucky log cabin in 1809, Lincoln clawed his way through frontier poverty to become a self-taught lawyer and Illinois legislator. The Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854, which threatened to spread slavery into new territories, pulled him into the Republican Party; by 1858 his debates with Stephen A. Douglas had made him a national voice. His 1860 presidential win triggered immediate secession by slave states and the formation of the Confederacy. A month into his presidency, Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter. Lincoln spent four years managing a fractious coalition, suspending habeas corpus, defusing a near-war with Britain over the Trent Affair, and personally steering Union strategy and generals. On January 1, 1863, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation; that November he delivered the Gettysburg Address. After re-election in 1864, he pushed through the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery and began planning to rebuild the South. On April 14, 1865, five days after Appomattox, John Wilkes Booth shot him at Ford's Theatre.
