Andrea Dietrich Poet Bio

Honest Abe

Honest

Wrestler, self-taught lawyer, eloquent writer/orator, and man of integrity.

Son of Nancy Hank and Thomas Lincoln; beloved stepson of Sarah Bush.

Lover of books, animals and a good joke!

He felt empathy for the downtrodden and sadness, yet the need to persevere.

He feared slavery’s expansion, the collapse of democracy and failed leadership.

He wanted feedom for the slaves, freedom for women and a better world.

Born in Kentucky, he gained experience in IL., and fulfilled his destiny in D.C.

Abe



(Dedicated to my Hero, Abraham Lincoln. He also wrote a little poetry!)

Lindsay Laurie January 27, 2019 at 4:52 PM G'day Andrea … possibly here in Australia, Abraham Lincoln is the best known American President of all and what he achieved. Thank you Andrea - Lindsay Andrea Dietrich January 27, 2019 at 5:01 PM I believe he is the one president that every foreign person knows of. My ESL students are so bad with history though, they thought he was president in the previous century!

Rico Leffanta January 27, 2019 at 3:25 PM Also, Lincoln filled that chair without begging Congress nor taxpayers for Monumental funds! Aloha! Rico
