183 years ago, March 9, 1832, an Illinois lawyer ran for his first political office.

He lost.

He would go on to lose four more times while running for Congress and the Senate.

This loser, who never gave up, was named Abraham Lincoln.

Can you imagine America without the 16th President?

Never. Give. Up.
