What is the significance of this state to Lincoln's life?

Abraham Lincoln was the President during the Civil War. He was the one who freed the slaves and gave them rights. Unfortunately, those rights were ignored until 40 or 50 years ago. A common nickname for him was Honest Abe. His head is on the front of the US penny, his monument in Washington on the back of the old ones and his log cabin on the back of the more recent ones.
