Abraham Lincoln? What can I say about this man? This man was a great leader, who change the American nation in many ways. He was assassinated on April 14, 1865, by the famous actor, John Wilkes Booth.
Unlike his other siblings he was not born in a hospital. He was born on May 10, 1838 in a log cabin in Bel Air, Maryland. Which is not so far from Baltimore, Maryland. Being the 9 out of 10 children he would soon be known as one of the tragedians of his time. .
"The Booth family name in the nineteenth century was strongly identified with the American theater scene;".

His father was also known at one time as very popular actor. His mother and father moved from Britain to England and settled here in America. Asia one of his older sister would write about John's actions when he was little. He would be one of those kind of kids that would be settled one minute and change the next. In other words he was moody. People might think that his environment was a real peaceful, but it wasn't. His dad was a constant drunk and that made his house real depressing. His family was wealthy so they owned slaves. Which in my opinion lead to Lincoln's death. He grew up to be real smart then he joined St. Timothy Hall.
St. Timothy Hall was a Episcopal Military academy. He became a well known solider. I really didn't get information about him while he was attending academy. After time He started a group called the "Know nothing"s" This group was know as the group only for native-born Americans, which in my opinion was a load of crap because that's excluding his parents. Does he really hate his family that much? I think not because if it wasn't for his father history of being a good actor John wouldn't be known as the most handsomest man known in America. Around the year 1855 John started his career as an actor. At first he wasn't really known for an actor. He started small and finally got a staring roll in one of Shakespeare's plays.
