Abraham Lincoln

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms.''

The problem pressing our world was people use slaves for work. The problem is the" Slaves'', because half the country wants the slaves and they are fighting each other and it makes the Civil War begin.

Until Abraham Lincoln became the 16th president of the U.S.A., he couldn't abolish slavery. He was born on February 12, 1809 in Hodgenville, Kentucky. And he died April 15, 1865 in Washington, D.C.[56 years-old]. Throughout his life he has four children. Of all the presidents in the U.S.A., Abraham Lincoln was the first to be assassinated. "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.'' That is Abraham Lincoln's quote. This means will never break up from the outside. If we move and lose our freedoms. This is Abraham Lincoln's quote and helps us to solve the problem.

Abraham Lincoln was the president during the civil war in 1861. Abraham Lincoln was helping the North against South and South wanted salves, the slaves come from Africa. In 1619 the 1st African slave came to America. In 1861 the civil war began. Abraham Lincoln wanted a stronger federal government and was against slavery. It was Abraham Lincoln's election that triggered the Southern States leaving and beginning of civil war in American History . The ''Civil War'' means inside fighting, the Northern against Southern States.

I learned from Abraham Lincoln that everybody needs to be treated equal. Abraham Lincoln helped stop slavery and slavery was not equal. I learned I need to help people, I will do this by telling people to stop fighting and stop the oppression of people who are different. My solution to this problem is fighting slaves? No, I will do the same thing as Abraham Lincoln did. What Abraham Lincoln did was to stop fighting over the slaves, and help them get back together as a country! Don't break out! Come back together, I will give you the''Freedoms'' for it and I will help them to stop slavery! So my answer to this problem is the same thing as Abraham Lincoln!

I talk a lot thing about Abraham Lincoln, for example his life, what did he did for his country, be a president during the civil war, and my solution to the problem, so now I will leaved a legacy behind. My legacy is ''Life is to create your own, others do not need to help you create your life, you need to make your own! Understand everyone?'' That is my quote, and I said it, I will go for it! That is my legacy I will leave this behind!That is my research for Abraham Lincoln. He is a very responsible person, for example he was helping his country, so everybody you need to do the same thing as Abraham Lincoln, it doesn't matter what country you are born, it matters what you do to your country. Abraham Lincoln is a example for us, so everybody go for it!
