 | | Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865), sometimes called Abe Lincoln and nicknamed Honest Abe, the Rail Splitter, and the Great Emancipator, was an American politician who served as the 16th President of the United States (1861 to 1865), and the first president from the Republican Party. |
 | | In 1816, when Lincoln was seven years old, he and his parents moved to Spencer County, Indiana; he would state "partly on account of slavery" and partly because of economic difficulties in Kentucky. |
 | | In 1818, Lincoln's mother died of "milk sickness" at age thirty four, when Abe was nine. |
