born in a log cabin in `kentucky` in 1809, raised in poverty, and almost entirely self-educated, abraham lincoln became a successful lawyer in `springfield`, illinois, where he married mary todd. lincoln came to the presidency with little experience-a few years in the illinois legislature and one term in `congress`. but he had a remarkable gift for helping people see the war as a test of popular government, "of the people, by the people, and for the people" (gettysburg address). after his assassination in 1865, lincoln came to be seen as a leader of nearly mythic proportions-a towering, legendary figure who had saved democracy and freed the slaves.
