At that time, Lincoln made up his mind to work to end slavery for the rest of his life.In 1836, Lincoln became a lawyer and was famous for being hard-working and honest.

In 1858, Lincoln debated(争论) against Stephen Douglas who was also a candidate for the Senate from Illinois.Because of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Lincoln became known across the country.

Lincolns Union Army fought the Southern Confederate Armies. Many soldiers were killed in the battles. One of the battles took place in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
