Abraham Lincoln received his nickname "Honest Abe" during his early days as a young store clerk in New Salem, Illinois. Legend has it that he earned this moniker due to his reputation for fairness, integrity, and honesty in his business dealings. His commitment to honesty and moral principles throughout his life further solidified this nickname, becoming a key part of his enduring legacy.
