Given: 
3 children
Product of their ages is 72.

The sum of the ages of his kids is not stated.So we cannot pinpoint the actual 3 ages. We can only assume the combination of the 3 ages.

We do prime factorization of 72.

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 =   9
  9 ÷ 3 =   3
  3 ÷ 3  = 1

1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72
1 x 2³ x 3² = 72

1 x 8 x 9 = 72
1 + 8 + 9 = 18

2 x 4 x 9 = 72
2 + 4 + 9 = 15

3 x 4 x 6 = 72
3 + 4 + 6 = 13

1 x 4 x 18 = 72
1 + 4 + 18 = 23

When Lincoln died, the nation was thrown into trying to rebuild from the civil war, multiple slavery sympathizers got government positions so they introduced new stuff that was like slavery but not directly linked to it. Some of those systems still stand today, it’s sad. GOD BLESS AMERICA
