Abraham and Mary Todd

Abraham met Mary Todd at a dance. She was visiting her sisters in Springfield. Mary was well educated, lively, and pretty. She’d studied French, dancing, music, and literature. Her family was one of the most important in Kentucky. They wanted Mary to marry someone wealthy like them.

Abraham walked shyly up to Mary. “Miss Todd,” he said, “I want to dance with you in the worst way.” Afterward Mary laughed and said he did dance in the worst way!

Mary and Abraham had much in common. They both loved books and had interesting talks about them. They loved politics and were both against slavery. They also had many differences. Mary was outgoing with a quick temper. Abraham was calm and a little shy. Even though Mary’s family didn’t approve, she married Abraham Lincoln in 1842. Later they bought a house near his office and settled down to raise a family.
