If you grew up with Abraham Lincoln, you would have seen great changes take place between the time Lincoln was a boy in Kentucky and the time he was president in Washington, D. C. Important changes took place in transportation and communication. When Lincoln was a boy, there were no trains. Mail that had to be delivered across long distances was carried by horse or a vehicle pulled by horse. It took a long time for a message to travel by stagecoach. By the time Lincoln was a grown man, people communicated using the telegraph, which was like an early version of the phone. It allowed messages to be sent very quickly.
