Before he was president, he was a member of the Illinois state legislature as a member of the Whig Party. From there he went on to become a lawyer and then went on to become a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and eventually becoming the President of the United States.

For many years, slavery was one of the biggest issues in the United States, and also one of the reasons for the Civil War. Second, during the Civil War he did everything he could to preserve the Union even though the nation was torn in
