His family life involved hard work, walking miles to school, farming, and etc. he would help his father chop logs and build any structure with him. His family life was very challenging. Lincoln was most famous during the Civil War. In this time period, he will give great quotes and speeches. One famous speech he gave was the Gettysburg Address. This was read in Gettysburg before the battle of Gettysburg.
One of his quotes that he gave was "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be". Which would mean to express yourself. Another one is, "A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have". Which would mean you have an ally with you.
