Which excerpt from “1859 autobiographical statement for the chester county times” is an example of lincoln’s sarcasm? “we reached our new home about the time the state came in the union. it was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods.” “if a straggler supposed to understand latin, happened to sojourn in the neighborhood, he was looked upon as a wizzard.” “i was raised to farm work, which i continued till i was twenty two. at twenty one i came to illinois, and passed the first year in illinois-macon county.” “i was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the missouri compromise aroused me again. what i have done since then is pretty well known.”
