The life story of Abraham Lincoln is a truly incredible tale. It is the tale of a great man and leader, full of exciting political misadventure and gunshots. As the 16th President of the United States of America, his efforts changed a nation and the world...
Abraham Lincoln was born in the United State of Kentucky in 18__, then moved with his family as a young boy to Illinois, and went to high school in Indiana.
Wait...
He was born in a one-room hotel in Illinois, moved into his parent’s log cabin in Kentucky, and took up a law career in Indiana. I think.
No...
Abraham Lincoln built a log cabin in Kentucky when he was born, moved the cabin to the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park in Indiana, and went to college at Illinois Valley Community College in Illinois.
During this brief but exciting period, Lincoln found a great passion for the reading of books. However, due to the lack of natural or electrical light, he learned to read entirely in the dark. This became an irreversible handicap, and for the duration of Abraham Lincoln’s life, he could only read in the dark. Unfortunately, his superhuman nocturnal vision applied only to text, and nothing else.
This disability proved to be a gift in disguise, during the years of the American Civil War. In 1862, after the Second Battle of Bull Run, Lincoln was able to read something in the dark, which would prove to be essential in turning the tide of the entire conflict.
Aside from only being able to read in the dark, Abraham Lincoln was also a known victim of syphilis. It was merely rumored to be true during his lifetime, but confirmed through post-mortem test performed in the modern age.
Adolph Hitler also had syphilis. But, if there had ever been an opportunity for these two men to battle in hand to hand combat, Abraham Lincoln would have absolutely destroyed his anti-Semitic adversary.
Lincoln, unlike Hitler, would most definitely have the advantage through his notable skills with an axe, and as a wrestler. Also, Lincoln’s gift for being able to only read in the dark could’ve proved beneficial in fighting as well. If Hitler had been covered in text of any sort, it would be extremely difficult for him to avoid Lincoln’s gaze in the event of a nocturnal engagement.
Though this match has never occurred, it goes to further prove what a great American, and great person Abraham Lincoln was, and why his place in history will last forever and favorably.
