..Unknown ways of Abraham Lincoln..

Abraham Lincoln is the 16th president of the USA and he became president at the age of 52 which can be thought to be rather late. He was one of the greatest leaders and the first republican leader of his country. The thing makes me interested in him is the claim that his anshestors are coming from Turkish orijin. According to this claim; he is a meluncan. Meluncans are people whose ancestors are thought to be Ottoman levents who became slavery during the wars Ottoman Army had with Portugals in 1500s and were taken to Amerika who now live in especially western part of the country.. Abraham Lincoln is said to be one of them and allegedly his name was told to him as 'Ibrahim' which is really close to 'Abraham' in pronunciation.

Abraham Lincoln is very special in many ways; he had h,s own style both in politic and daily life. Still there are many little stories about him as well as his words worth memorising..Here are some interesting points;

... He is the hero of the civil war which was aimed to be about economical problems but then turned into the war against slavery.

...He struggled for becoming president till 39 and always lost; but he never gave up and won so he is a man of passion.

...Because of an illness he has ; he is a little different n appearance. The angle of his knees are 130-140 and his arms together with his legs are so tall.

...He was really smart; we can see this in his conversations ; while he was having quarrels with his rival , the rival accused him of being hypocrate. Abraham's reply was quite effective. He said 'if i had two face(meaning hypocrate), do you think would i still be using this face ?? :D (he can also hame fun of his appearance)

...He was killed in April 14 in 1865 by John Wilkes Booth.
