I learned that the soldiers would carry about 2O pounds of weight. They had to carry that for 2O miles. The soldiers would sleep in a very small tent. Two soldiers were in a tent. They would both carry some of the tent. Their shoes had no right foot or left foot so they would switch the shoes around sometimes. The children had a toy that was a bird and if it had water in it, it sounded like a bird. The woman would always carry yarn and knitting needles because they had to make socks so that in the winter their feet would be warm. they would also carry the key to their spice cabinet if they had one because spices were hard to get. Abraham Lincoln only went to school for one year. Somebody said that he would be good at being president but he did not know anything about being president, so Abraham lincoln read books about the law and he became president. There was a lady and she always wanted to live in the white house. So she saw that Abraham Lincoln was fair so she married him.
