As early as when he was studying, there was an exam and the teacher asked him, "Did you answer a difficult question or two easy questions?" Lincoln confidently replied, "Answer a difficult question." "Then you answer, how did the egg come from?" "Chicken-born." The teacher asked again, "Where did the chicken come from?" "Teacher, this is the second question." Lincoln said with a smile.
After becoming president, he was insulted because he was the son of a shoemaker. One of his men wrote "idiot" on the note and handed it to Lincoln. Lincoln was not angry after reading it, but said humorously, "We only write the text here, and it is anonymous. And this person only wrote the name, not the text. "
Once, Lincoln walked to the city. When a car came from behind him, he raised his hand to stop and said to the driver, "Can you help me take this coat to the city?" "Sure," said the driver, "but how can I return my coat to you?" Lincoln replied, "Oh, it's very simple. I'm going to wrap it in a coat. " Impressed by his humor, the driver smiled and let him get on the bus.
Lincoln is a lawyer. Once in court, the opposing lawyer repeatedly stated a simple argument for more than two hours, which made the audience impatient. Finally, it was Lincoln's turn to take the stage to defend the defendant. He went to the podium, took off his coat and put it on the table, then picked up the cup and drank two sips of water, then put on his coat, then took off his coat and put it on the table, drank some water and dressed again. This was repeated five or six times, and the audience in the court laughed. Lincoln said nothing and began his defense speech with laughter.
Lincoln's face is long and ugly. Once, he argued with Stephen Douglas, who laughed at him for being two-faced. Lincoln replied, "If I had another face, would I still wear this ugly face?"
Once, Lincoln was shining his shoes when a foreign diplomat came up to him and said, "Mr. President, did you really shine your shoes?" "Yes," Lincoln asked in surprise. "Do you clean other people's shoes?"
Some people think that Lincoln's attitude towards his political opponents is not tough enough and say to him, "Why do you want them to be friends?" You should try to destroy them. ""I'm not in the elimination of political opponents? When I let them be my friends, political enemies don't exist. " Lincoln said gently.
Another time, a lady came to Lincoln and said confidently, "Mr. President, you must give my son a position as a colonel. We should have this right, because my grandfather took part in the battle of Lexington, my uncle was the only one who didn't escape in Bretton, my father took part in the battle of Na olins, and my husband died in Mantel, so …… "Lincoln replied," Madam, your family has served the country for three generations, and your contribution to the country is really great. I deeply respect this. Now can you give others a chance to serve your country? " The woman had nothing to say, so she had to leave quietly.
One night, Lincoln went to bed after a busy day. Suddenly, the telephone rang loudly. It turned out that a former hacker told him that a customs supervisor had just died. The man asked Lincoln if he could replace him. Lincoln replied, "If the funeral home doesn't mind, of course I don't object."

One day, Lincoln and his eldest son Robert came to the street in a carriage. The street was blocked by passing troops. Lincoln opened the door, put out a foot and asked a passerby, "What is this?" Which army does Lincoln refer to? Passers-by thought he didn't know the army, so he replied, "Federal army, you are such an idiot."
Lincoln said "thank you", closed the car door, and then said seriously to his son, "It is a kind of happiness to have someone telling the truth in front of you." Then he said, "What a fool I am!" "
Life-threatening words
On Christmas Eve, Mr. Smith found a poor boy picking up cinders in front of the glass cabinet of his shoe store. He was in rags and wore a pair of shoes that were "riddled with holes" and extremely inappropriate. He stared at the beautiful shoes in the cupboard, and his eyes were full of inexplicable hopes. This is Lincoln who was only eight or nine years old at that time. When Mr. Smith asked Lincoln, "What can I do for you?" Lincoln replied, "I'm asking God to give me a pair of suitable shoes." Faced with Lincoln's request, Mr. Smith did not accept his wife's suggestion and gave Lincoln a pair of shoes directly. Instead, he took out the best socks in the cupboard and told Lincoln, "I'm sorry, son, but God didn't grant your request to buy a pair of shoes. He said, I might as well give you a pair of socks instead of a pair of shoes. " When Lincoln was disappointed and sad and washed his feet with warm water, Mr. Smith told Lincoln something that would benefit him for life: "Son, each of us will pray for God in our hearts, but he can't give us ready-made good things, just like in the orchard where we live, everyone pursues fruitful fruits, but God can only give us a seed." Only by sowing this seed in the soil and taking good care of it can it blossom. " Just like everyone pursues treasure, but God can only give us an iron pole or a treasure map, and we need to dig it ourselves to get the real treasure. The key is to believe you can do it. If you have confidence, your future will be bright! Take me for example, when I was a child, I prayed to God for a shoe store, but God only gave me a set of tools for making shoes, but I always believed that with this set of tools, I could get everything and make good use of it. For more than 20 years, I have worked as a shoeshine boy, apprentice, shoerepairer and leather shoes designer ... Now, I not only own the most luxurious shoe store in this street, but also have a beautiful wife and a happy family. You too, son. As long as you take these socks to find your dream shoes, never look back and never give up, then one day you will succeed. In addition, God specially asked me to tell you that he has given you more than anyone else, as long as you are not afraid of failure and pay! "
Mr. Smith's words influenced Lincoln's life. Thirty years later, this once poor boy became a famous president in American history.
Abraham lincoln was the 6th president of the United States. He led the great struggle to save the Union and end slavery. Although he only received a little elementary education in the frontier and had little experience in holding public office, his keen insight and profound humanitarian consciousness made him the greatest president in American history.
Lincoln 1809 was born at dawn on February 12, 2002 in a cabin 3 miles south of Hall, Harding County, Kentucky. In his own words, his childhood was "a concise chronicle of poverty". When he was a child, he helped his family move firewood, carry water and do farm work. At the age of nine, his mother died, which was a cruel blow to Lincoln. Fortunately, his stepmother is very kind to him and often urges him to study. He has a harmonious relationship with his stepmother. Later, when he grew up, Lincoln began to make a living independently. He worked as a farm employee, stonemason, boatman and so on.
1830, the Lincoln family moved to Illinois, where he made his first political speech. Because he attacked slavery and put forward some suggestions beneficial to public utilities, Lincoln had an influence on the public, and with his outstanding personality, he was elected as a state senator in 1834. Two years later, Lincoln became a lawyer through self-study and soon became the Whig leader of the state legislature. 1846, he was elected to the us house of representatives.
1854, the bourgeoisie who advocated the abolition and restriction of slavery in the northern States established the Peace Party, and Lincoln soon became the leader of this new party. 1858 delivered a famous speech "Family Disputes", demanding that the development of black slaves be restricted and the motherland be unified. The speech expressed the wishes of the northern bourgeoisie and the people of the whole country, thus winning great prestige for Lincoln. 1860, Lincoln was elected as the Republican candidate as the16th president of the United States.
Shortly after Lincoln took office, slave owners in the South started a civil war. In this war, Lincoln shouldered a heavy responsibility, which was unmatched by most American presidents in the past. However, he performed his duties with extraordinary perseverance and determination. Even when he was vilified, he never wavered in his direction: restoring the union and abolishing slavery. 1862 In September, Lincoln published the famous The Emancipation Proclamation, announcing the abolition of slavery and the liberation of slaves. 1June, 864, the civil war ended with victory in the north, marking the complete collapse of slavery. 186 1 civil war broke out in April, and as early as July 22nd, 1862, President Lincoln had already read the first draft of the famous The Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet. In fact, Secretary Seward suggested that no announcement should be made before military victory. In September, the victory of the federal army in Antioch gave Lincoln the opportunity he expected. On September 22nd, he read another draft proclamation to the Cabinet. After a slight revision, the draft was released, which was only the first report; 1863 1 month/day, the official The Emancipation Proclamation was announced to the world.
I, abraham lincoln, President of the United States, today, according to the power conferred by the Constitution, I was the commander-in-chief of the United States government in Lu Haijun during the armed rebellion against the government. As an appropriate and necessary military measure to wipe out the rebellion, I hereby point out, according to my intention, the countries, regions and domestic people who are betraying the United States today, that is, 1863 1 month/day, that is, one hundred days after the promulgation of the above announcement:

In view of the above-mentioned power and purpose, I command and declare that all people regarded as slaves in the above-mentioned States and regions are free and will be free forever; The US government, including the Lu Haijun authorities, will recognize and guarantee their freedom.
At the same time, I hereby order the above-mentioned released people to avoid using any violence unless it is necessary for self-defense; And suggest that they work as faithfully as possible to get a reasonable salary.
I hereby declare and wish to know that the suitable candidates have been recruited into the American armed forces, participated in guarding forts, strongholds, military posts and other places, and served on various ships of the above-mentioned forces.
We are all convinced that this is a just action, out of military needs and recognized by the Constitution. I ask humans to examine it in detail, and God bless it.
When Lincoln was a child, his parents were pioneers, with low income and poor life. Three meals at a time, barely enough to satisfy hunger, and no money to buy toys, comic books and books.
Parents go out to work during the day and come back at night. Seven-year-old Lincoln went to the wild to pick up branches, dig roots and collect firewood every day, and carried them home to pile up next to the living room for the whole family to cook and keep warm. Because of his poor family, Lincoln dropped out of primary school after only four months as a child. Since then, I have never received a formal school education. Lincoln's later intellectual wealth was acquired by his long-term hard self-study.
For young Lincoln, the happiest thing is that during the period after dinner, his mother told them all kinds of stories. Lincoln and his sister sat on the stump and stared at each other. At this time, young Lincoln seemed to be taken to a fantastic world.
After studying hard for a long time, Lincoln gained profound knowledge, learned to be a man, with noble character, keen observation, excellent memory and strong working ability, won the support of the American people and was elected president. Interestingly, one of his presidential candidates, Seward, was a law professor at Harvard University and the governor of New York. This man's knowledge and experience are second to none in * * * and the party, but he did not compete for Lincoln, and Lincoln took the presidency. Seward became prime minister under the leadership of Lincoln. However, Seward, who has a strong self-esteem, doesn't want to work under Lincoln because Lincoln didn't even graduate from primary school. However, after working under Lincoln for a period of time, Seward admired Lincoln's character and working ability, especially his keen observation and memory.
Everyone must want to know why Lincoln's memory is so excellent, and what is his learning secret?
Facts have proved that Lincoln's strong thirst for knowledge and excellent memory seem to stem from his childhood memories. Whenever he wants to learn knowledge or recall something, his mind will always recall the happy scene of sitting on a stump listening to a kind mother telling a story as a teenager and giving him encouragement. Because of Lincoln's outstanding achievements, he was re-elected as the president of the United States on1October 8, 1864+065438. However, before Lincoln put his postwar policy into practice, tragedy happened. 1April, 8651On the evening of the 4th, Lincoln was assassinated at Ford Theater in Washington. The murderer is a deranged actor who sympathizes with the south. 18 On April 5, 1965, abraham lincoln died at the age of 56. After Lincoln's death, his body was mourned by the masses for more than two weeks in the city of 14, and then buried in Prinsfield.
