Even when Abe was a child he did not like slavery so that's why he stopped slavery for good with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 followed by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution at the end of the Civil War .LINCOLN is one
of the greatest presidents because he helped save the American Union and end the evil of slavery that once divided the south from the north. But now let's really get back to his childhood. As Abe was getting older he needed to get a job so there was a job opening so Abe took the job.
