Div wont center inside a another div - html

Question

I'm trying to center a div that has a header and text inside another div, but it doesn't work. It just keeps on leaning to the right which isn't the way I want it to be. What is wrong with it?
CSS:
body {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: auto;
background-color: #9C5B27;
}
.about {
position: static;
margin-top: 25px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 543px;
text-align: center;
}
header {
text-align: center;
}
article {
color: #FFFFFF;
margin-left: auto;
width: 567px;
position: absolute;
text-align: center;
}
#content {
background-color: #574637;
width: 649px;
height: 134px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
HTML:
<div class="about">
<header>Home</header>
<div id="content">
<article>
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

</article>
</div>
</div>
</body>

Answer 1

You are overflowing the .about container.. you can achieve the espected result with this:
body {
background-color: #9C5B27;
}
.about {
margin: 25px auto;
text-align: center;
}
header {
text-align: center;
}
#content {
width: 650px;
padding: 16px;
margin: 12px auto;
background-color: #574637;
}
article {
color: #fff;
}
