    once told someone how crazy that Abraham got in the car industry after being president.

    Had to do a double take then they believed me.

    You'd think it'd be a Lincoln Town Car but it's built by Ford.

    Do people still generally know that Abe Lincoln grew up in a log cabin? Is that still taught in grade school?

    Just listened to a podcast where a 6th grade English teacher explained she has to teach half the class how to form complete sentences. In fucking 6th grade!!

    Yes. Although, most people are mistakenly of the impression he was born in Illinois. This is not the case. Lincoln practiced law in Illinois, was in the Illinois house of reps, was the US rep for Illinois, and lived in Illinois most of his life, but the log cabin he was born in was actually just outside of Louisville, Kentucky.
