Abe Lincoln

 Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln is who made the U.S what it is today. He was our sixteenth president of the United States.In addition he was also inspirational. My topic is about what Abraham Lincoln did to change this country. Abraham Lincoln is a leader, believes in what he says and is very kind.  
Abraham Lincoln is a great influence, because he was a leader. He preserved the union during the civil war. He is also a leader because one time he went to the store to buy something then he noticed that the cashier paid him an extra cent, and with that he walked miles just so he could pay her back. Lastly Abe Lincoln is a leader because he has never lied in his life. Abe Lincoln is a leader believes in what he says and is very kind.
   Abraham Lincoln also believes in what he says. He said these three quotes. “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.A house divided against it cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.I want every man to have the chance - and I believe a black man is entitled to it - in which he can better his condition, when he may look forward and hope to be a hired labourer this year and the next, work for himself afterward, and finally to hire men to work for him. That is the true system.”
   Lastly Abraham Lincoln is very kind. He gave the slaves freedom. He treated people the way he wanted to be treated which was for people to be nice to him and with respect. And he always said please and thank  you whenever he received something or asked for something. 
 Abraham Lincoln is a great leader, believes in what he says and is very kind. One day I hope everyone can follow Abe's leadership, he's way of believing in what he says and most especially I hope everyone could be kind like Lincoln, not judging people for the color of their skin, their religion, or anything. If the world followed in his footsteps nobody would every criticize negatively again.
