Abraham Lincoln

by Jimmy from Philadelphia

I choose Abraham Lincoln as my hero because of what he did for our country and the people that make it up. He did everything he could for the United States, even signed the 13th Amendment to free the slaves but had trouble with the South and had to fight in the Civil War. In the Civil War he was fighting for what he thought was right. He has overcome many struggles as a president like having to bring his country back together and help them rebuild the South for it being ruined during the battle.
