Morgan Collard and John A. Logan traveled forty three miles round trip to the DuQuoin State Fair. While at the fair, they discovered an Abraham Lincoln tent that had information about the past president, as well as different engaging activities to do concerning him. This picture is taken with one of the exciting attractions in the tent. Abraham Lincoln was elected as our sixteenth president during a time when our nation was divided in a battle to help preserve our civil rights. Lincoln was able to free slaves and abolish slavery in 1865 with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. Although Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, his hard work in helping to preserve our civil rights will never be forgotten.
