Abraham Lincoln's father moved his family to Indiana in the winter of 1816, largely due to his struggles with Kentucky's unorganized land title system and also because slavery was prohibited in Indiana. The Lincolns were opposed to slavery for as long as Abraham could remember.
That winter Abraham, at age 6, was taught to use an ax to help his father clear land for spring planting. From that moment until his adulthood, he was rarely without an ax, which he learned to wield as an extension of his own hand....
In the Spring of 1818, Abraham's beloved mother died of milk sickness, a poisoning from the milk of cows who ate white snakeroot plants. After a long and difficult year, Thomas Lincoln remarried a widow with three children of her own, Sara Bush Johnston. Abraham grew to love his stepmother as much as he has loved his own. She encouraged his love for learning, and he continued to be almost entirely self-taught.
"HORIZONS STRETCHED"
Abraham grew to be a strapping young man; by the age of 16 he was six feet, two inches tall. He continued to work for his father on the family farm, and his father also hired him out to perform odd jobs in the area. All the money that he earned went back to his father to care for the family. Abraham was eager to get out and try new things, he built houses, shucked corn, logged timber, killed hogs, cut firewood and even split rails.
One employment adventure allowed Abraham to travel on a flatboat carrying goods to be sold in New Orleans. Abraham and a friend made the trip, stopping frequently along the way to trade with the sugar plantations they came across. Although he never wrote about it, the slave market in New Orleans must have made a mark on the impressionable Lincoln.
In 1830, after another outbreak of milk sickness, Thomas Lincoln decided to move his family again, this time to Central Illinois.
Abraham drove their team of oxen to his new home state. A Short time later, he would set out to make his own way in the world.
