Honest Abe

You have probably heard of Abraham Lincoln, but you might just know he was the 16th president. You might know he died in a theater. Well, that's not true, he actually got shot at a theater and died two days after. What's funny is he had a dream predicting his own death. He was born on February 12th, 1809, he died on April 15th, 1865, he died at the age of fifty-six. You also probably know he was a very tall man, at the age of sixteen he was likely over six feet tall. Another interesting fact is he was the tallest president and actually when he was sitting down he was as tall as a average man. Before Abraham Lincoln was a president there was never a president with a beard. Abe Lincoln suffered from serious depression and migraine headaches. Both could be debilitating and there were times he spent days in bed! Another thing that Abe Lincoln did was say speeches, one of the speech you probably heard of is, the Gettysburg address (1863.) The last speech I'm going to talk about is, the Inaugural Address (1865.)
