If Abraham Lincoln grew up in a log cabin, does that mean he wasn’t a railroad lawyer as an adult?
Some retard wrote to me this.
Answer by Clyde
Nope. Back in those days you could be born in a log cabin and become a lawyer. You didn’t have to go to college and pass a bar exam. You just had to know how to win cases and Lincoln was good at it. There was this one time when a railroad boss complained about the cost of Lincoln’s services. Lincoln tripled his fee and… got every penny of it. Yes. And he was born in a log cabin in the poorest neighborhood in America. Hard to imagine today.
Answer by presidentofallantarctica
Lincoln was mentally ill. He had severe depression; he said of himself, “I must be the most miserable person on Earth.” Others said of him, “Melancholy dripped from him as he walked.” But in those days, mental illness was not as much of a stigma as it is now; people respected those who had heavier burdens, and still carried them. Lincoln “manned up” and succeeded despite his horrible gloominess.
Lincoln, despite his extra-constitutional behavior, was one of the greatest leaders in history. If he was born today, he would be heavily medicated and wouldn’t amount to squat.

You are correct, whoever wrote that to you is a retard….
Answer by Naz F
Just to correct one answer above: To become a lawyer, a person first became an apprentice for an established lawyer. You would be a combination of clerk/secretary for him, and watch his actions negotiating contracts (most of a lawyer’s work happens OUTSIDE the courtroom) and dealing in court, until you could set up your own practice. It was then up to you to create business, by doing well and having your reputation spread by word of mouth.
That tells you how Lincoln would have become a lawyer. He reached the first step of this – becoming an apprentice – simply by having a reputation for being well-read, and for his performance in a local debating club. (2nd link)
TODAY, you can still become a lawyer by serving as an apprentice in some states, such as Vermont. (1st link)

Answer by Jessie P
How in the world could that possibly be true? Think about it. How could he have been born in a cabin that didn’t exist? How could he have helped his dad build a cabin if he wasn’t born yet? Come on now….

Log cabin, yes. Built with his father, no (cute, but old). He was born in a log cabin in Kentucky, then his family moved to Indiana (he may have helped build that one). Later, he moved to Springfield, Illinois.
you betcha!
racing to get it finished before the birth
yee-hah!
americans can do things that real people cant even think of doing
god bless america!
Ha ha. Old one. Get a life.
Thanks for the laugh!
I don’t think so.
So assuming you’re not serious with this question or that you worded it wrong, I’ll give you a little insight into good ole Honest Abe and his Dishonest state. I’m from Illinois, plus I have a degree in History, so I did do my research.
If you go to New Salem, IL you can tour the house that Lincoln grew up in. It’s a tiny shack with one room and you couldn’t believe someone actually grew up there. Unfortunately he didn’t.
That house, and most of the “historic” houses in New Salem were built nearly 12 years after he died. He didn’t have a horrible life and his house wasn’t a tiny shack. Don’t believe everything you hear. Remember, George Washington never actually cut down a cherry tree. People make up stories so that everyone will think more positively about their historic leaders.
Yes. Look it up in a history book or on line!
Dang it! I too read it too fast! Good One!
If he was born in it, how could he have built it?
how can you build a cabin and then be born in it?
thin kaboudit
No—- How can you help your father build a log cabin that you were born in?
Yes, but what I want to know is “who is buried in Grant’s tomb?”
How could he help build the cabin before he was born? Maybe just his father built it.
Yep, popped right out of his mom’s belly got that cabin built, then jumped back in, hung out in the ole belly for awhile and came on out a few months later to a nice log home he helped build before he was ever born. He really was an amazing guy that Abe Lincoln.
How could he have been born in a cabin he helped build?
Perhaps you should not ask a retard’s question.
