Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky in 1809. His mother died when he was ten years old. Later, his family moved to Illinois and his father remarried. The family was poor, so they had to struggle just to live. In Illinois, there were neither teachers nor schools, but Lincoln's stepmother encouraged him to study. He learned to read and write while working on the farm.

In Illinois, Lincoln studied by himself because there were no schools there. ( )
