5 Things You Don't Know About Lincoln

1. His mother died young

   Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, died at the age of 34 from tremetol (milk sickness) when he was only nine.

2. His parents were uneducated

   Lincoln's parents were nearly illiterate, including his stepmother — who encouraged young Abraham to learn to read — which he largely accomplished on his own.

3. Lincoln was largely self-educated

   Any formal education Lincoln received during his childhood likely added up to 18 months at most; he later taught himself the law and passed the Illinois state bar exam.

4. Lincoln's family members were "squatters" at one time

   A land dispute in 1817 forced the Lincoln family from their Kentucky home; they found themselves "squatting" on a small piece of land in Indiana, which Lincoln's father eventually purchased.

5. He had a rocky relationship with Mary Todd

   They got engaged in 1840, broke up a year later, reunited at a social function, and eventually married in 1842.
