About Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. He was born in 1809 and died in 1865. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in April of 1865 while he was at the theater. Abraham Lincoln was known most for his issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation and his Gettysburg Address. Abraham Lincoln was very important to the civil war, especially with the efforts of abolishing slavery in the last years of the war. His early life was spent in a one room log cabin in Spring Farm Kentucky. Abraham Lincoln was for the most part self educated. His family life was difficult so according to history he had about 18 months of formal schooling. When he was 22 he left his family to pursue his own life eventually getting a job on the Sangamon River. At age 23 Lincoln began his political career though he didn’t gain popularity until 1834 in Illinois.
Dressing up as Abraham Lincoln
The Abraham Lincoln costume we usually see if as his time as president. We always see the costume as formal wear with the long black suit jacket, black pants, and white shirt. We also see the top hat as part of the costume as we have seen in many of the pictures of the man. To create the costume of Abraham Lincoln you can either purchase a suit or make your own costume. It will depend on how much you would like to spend. You also can’t forget the beard and side burns Lincoln was always pictured with. There are adult and children costumes available as well as the facial kits you would need to make the true Lincoln costume. Other costumes that you may wish to check out include Ulysses S. Grant, General Lee, Sherman, and Lincoln's wife Mary.
