In a dusty Illinois courthouse in 1858, Abraham Lincoln declared, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." These prophetic words would define not just his career but America's bloodiest chapter. Lincoln's journey from frontier poverty to presidential greatness represents one of history's most profound moral evolutions. Born in 1809 in a dirt-floored Kentucky cabin, young Lincoln witnessed slavery firsthand, recalling seeing people "chained together" - images that remained with him for life. Despite minimal formal education, Lincoln possessed an insatiable hunger for knowledge that his stepmother Sarah recognized and championed, unlike his father who would "slash" him for reading instead of working. Through books like the Bible, Aesop's Fables, and especially Lindley Murray's The English Reader, Lincoln absorbed ideas about justice, perseverance, and moral courage that would later define his presidency. His religious upbringing exposed him to Baptist preachers who condemned slavery as "inconsistent with the spirit of Christianity" - planting seeds that would later blossom into his determination that if he ever got "a chance to hit slavery, I'll hit it hard."
