A: Lincoln began his political career in 1832, at age 23, with a campaign for the Illinois General Assembly as a member of the Whig Party. The centerpiece of his platform was the undertaking of navigational improvements on the Sangamon River in the hopes of attracting steamboat traffic to the river, which would allow sparsely populated, poor areas along and near the river to grow and prosper. He served as a captain in a company of the Illinois militia drawn from New Salem during the Black Hawk War, although he never saw combat. He wrote after being elected by his peers that he had not had "any such success in life which gave him so much satisfaction."[5]
For a few months he operated a small store in New Salem, Illinois, selling tea, coffee, sugar, salt, blue calico, brown muslin, straw hats--and whiskey.[6] After coming across the second volume of Sir William Blackstone's four-volume Commentaries on the Laws of England, he taught himself law and was admitted to the bar in 1837. That same year, he moved to Springfield, Illinois, and began to practice law with Stephen T. Logan. He became one of the most respected and successful lawyers in Illinois and grew steadily more prosperous.
No he was 28 when he began practicing law. (answered by notaxpert on December 27, 2006)

A: The Proclamation turned foreign popular opinion in favor of the Union for its new commitment to end slavery. That shift ended the Confederacy's hopes of gaining official recognition, particularly from the United Kingdom. If Britain or France, both of which had already abolished slavery, were to support the Confederacy, they would be supporting slavery.
Prior to Lincoln's decree, Britain's actions had favored the Confederacy, especially in its construction of warships such as the CSS Alabama and CSS Florida. As Henry Adams noted, "The Emancipation Proclamation has done more for us than all our former victories and all our diplomacy." Giuseppe Garibaldi hailed Lincoln as "the heir of the aspirations of John Brown". Alan Van Dyke, a representative for workers from Manchester, England, wrote to Lincoln saying, "We joyfully honor you for many decisive steps toward practically exemplifying your belief in the words of your great founders: 'All men are created free and equal.'" The Emancipation Proclamation served to ease tensions with Europe over the North's determination to defeat the South at all costs. (answered by pass on February 15, 2009)
Q:
How likely is it that Obama will outstrip Abe Lincoln to become the most popular US president of all time?
Is Barack Obama well on his way to becoming the most popular US president of all time in history?
He's only been in power for a brief period but already he's beginning to make mountains move so is Abe Lincoln now destined to lose his top position in the popularity contest? (asked by knightrider2007 on March 17, 2009)
A: No. Not likely at all.
Abe was not as popular as we imagine him to be now looking back.History that followed made US feel that Abe is the
most popular and so on.No disrespect intended.
Abe took a historic moral just decision. He could afford it according to his times and lives.
Obe can not afford to take such decisions because he is not as free or independent as Abe. He can choose between one set of Corporate Giants or the other. Abe had no such obligations.
So Obe will at best be a good President with good intentions but capable of no effective total action.The corporate Giants have tranquilized everything and everybody. Only a total mental and material revolutionary approach is going to make any indelible mark now in the history of mankind.......a revolution of the Gandhian model which was left half way by the Gandhi himself .The reason being the complex nature of the present day society where it is very difficult to discern the hunter and the hunted .....in the long run of history.
Sorry! if I could not give you a "proper" answer. It is not entirely my fault! (answered by namareers37 on March 17, 2009)
