What was Abraham Lincoln childhood like?
Well, I wouldn’t say his childhood was particularly pleasant. His brother, Thomas, had died when he was an infant and his family moved to Indiana when Abraham was seven. When Abraham was nine, his mother died from Milk Sickness. Milk Sickness was caught when someone drank milk from a cow that had grazed on poisonous white snakeroot. His father remarried the next year and Abraham loved his new stepmother. As he grew up, he enjoyed reading and writing more than working out in the fields.
