Right now we are studying the history of the Civil War. Do you know the main hero of the bloodiest war in American history? That's right!! Old Abe Lincoln. He was our sixteenth President. The Civil War started in 1861 and ended four years later. Right at the end of the War he was elected for the second time.   During the war, Abe Lincoln's son got sick and died. One night Mr. Lincoln had a dream that the president got shot and every was mourning and weeping. After the war was over Mr. Lincoln took his wife to a play to cheer them up.
