Abraham Lincoln

“Honest Abe,” that is what people call me. My brother said, “He will never measure up to anything,” little did he know my future. Oh my name is Abraham Lincoln. When I was young I rarely went to school, but I still loved learning. I invented the buoy system. I also ended slavery. Why did I grow a beard? I grew a beard because a sweet young girl named Grace asked me to. After I grew a beard many men grew one too. Grace also told me she wants her parents to vote for me to be president. Her original letter sold for $million dollars. There were two presidents at my time. Edwin Booth saved a different Lincoln, but he shot and killed me in a building right in front of Mary Todd my wife.
