Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 - April 15, 1865), known as "Honest Abe", "The Rail Splitter", or "The Great Emancipator", was born in Hodgenville, Kentucky to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln in a one-room log cabin built by his father. Growing up on the frontier gave Lincoln certain strengths such as self-reliance, patience, and understanding. Survival itself demanded them. No one can tell a completely "true" story of any piece of the past. In the case of Abraham Lincoln, it is difficult to sort out the facts from the legend. There are no contemporary records of his childhood, except indirect and relatively insignificant documents such as bills of sale. Both of Lincoln's parents were illiterate, so the tapestry of letters one often finds in educated families is absent. Mythmakers found great material in Lincoln's early years because of the lack of evidence about those years and because of the idealizing needs of a country reunited after a terrible civil war. The years of Lincoln's, later youth and maturity, though better documented, also have been caught up in exaggeration and legend. None of us can remain totally free from the legends of Abraham Lincoln for they are too deeply embedded in the American consciousness. 7. "Both of Lincoln's parents were *illiterate*, so the tapestry of letters one often finds in educated families is absent." What does the underlined word mean? A. Left behind people B. People who can not write and read C. Feel stressed to himself D. Hardworking and good motivation
