Impression of Slavery

The first impression of slavery that Abe recieved was in his childhood in Kentucky. His father and mother belonged to a small company of western abolitionists, who at the beginning of the century boldly criticized the institution as wrongdoing. Thomas and Nancy Lincoln disliked it so much that they were willing to leave their Kentucky home and move to a free State. Abes first experience of the system was that it was something to escape from and he saw that it caused alot of pain and hardships.
