	Abraham Lincoln and Lincoln, Illinois
		Lincoln was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1837, and he moved to Springfield, Illinois, from New Salem and married in 1842.
		Abraham Lincoln first "traveled this way" (to the area of Lincoln, Illinois) on the circuit in 1839, when Logan County was established by the Illinois legislature and the Logan County Circuit Court was held in the Deskins Tavern in Postville (site of the present VFW building).
		Lincoln told the truth when he said he had 'always hated slavery as much as any Abolitionist' but I do not know that he deserved a great deal of credit for that for his hatred of oppression and wrong in all its forms was constitutional--he could not help it.
