One day in March 1837, the Illinois State Assembly held the biggest dance in Springfield, where the state capital is located. The dance brought together almost all the political elites in the state and all the beautiful women in the city. Lincoln, a trainee lawyer at that time, was lucky to be invited to the dance. At the ball, a girl appeared, which made all the men's eyes shine.

After the game started, Lincoln was caught in the crowd, and there was no red corn husk in his hand. Caroline was in a hurry, so she hurried to find the corn husks with red ears. After finding them, she handed them to Lincoln and gave her own kiss ... However, Caroline didn't go with Lincoln in the end, and she married a farmer who was also rich.
