Early American “sum books” were old-fashioned
notebooks. They were multiple pages stitched
together.
Most sum books contained tables on weights and
measures, percentages, fractions and rules of
mathematics.
Shown here is one of ten surviving pages from
Abraham Lincoln’s homemade student sum book.

Lincoln often said, "Everything I want
to know is in books.”

old.
His father married Sarah Bush.

These companion daguerreotypes
are the first-known photographic

Lincoln.
They were reportedly made in 1846
by Nicholas H. Shepherd shortly
after Lincoln’s election as a delegate
to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Shepherd also studied law at the law
office of Lincoln and Herndon.

In 1858, Lincoln challenged Stephen Douglas’s position as Senator of Illinois.

http://www.gilderlehrman.org/collection/online/lincolndouglas/slide04.html
Lincoln invited Douglas to
debate around Illinois.

Chicago Ills. July 24, 1858 Hon
S. A. Douglas
My Dear Sir
Will it be agreeable to you to
make an arrangement for you and myself
to divide time and address the same
audiences during the present canvass? Mr. Judd who
will hand you this is authorized to receive
your answer; and if agreeable to you to enter
into the terms of such arrangement.
Your Obt. Servt
A. Lincoln Delivered the
original of which the above is a
true copy to the Hon. S. A. Douglass at
Chicago on the 24 July 1858 and received for answer
that he would send me down an answer when
he sent down his mail on Monday morning.

“It is the right of the people to make
a Slave Territory or a Free Territory.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lincoln_Douglas_Debates_1958_issue-4c.jpg
"A house divided against itself cannot
stand.

“I believe this government cannot endure,
permanently, half slave and half free.

“I do not expect the Union to be dissolved
–I do not expect the house to fall– but I do
expect it will cease to be divided. It will
become all one thing or all the other.”

What is ‘a house divided’?
Did Lincoln mean a real house?

Lincoln lost the election for Illinois Senator,
but he became famous after the debates.

Republicans asked him to try to win the
election to become President.
Lincoln accepted the nomination.

However, Maryland and Delaware supported the Union, as did most citizens living in western Virginia and eastern
Tennessee.
Also, the North had an economic advantage: more people, factories and banks were in the North.
