Lincoln argued before the US Sepreme Court in Lewis v Lewis, March 7th and 8th in 1849.
Many people do not know that Lincoln was also a US Congressman representing the State of Illinois as a Representative having been elected in 1846. Again, showing Lincoln was far from this “humble” backwoodsman.
Lincoln by all measurements was a politician, far from “humble” or “honest”.
He may not have been born in a log cabin, but he was certainly not born to wealth in any shape, way, or form.
Lincoln also disliked his father for whatever reason and didn’t attend his funeral.
