Abraham Lincoln was one of the most important and famous president of the U.S. Abraham was key for the end of slavery. Lincoln was also one of the main reasons why the Union beat the Confederates in the U.S civil war. Without Lincoln America might still be using slaves to do orders for whatever their owners want the slaves to do. In the text rojernorton it stated “Abraham Lincoln was remembered for his vital role as the leader in preserving the union during the civil war.” (Patel 1). Not only did taking slaves out of America help the people who were slaves but it also set an example for all the other countries who follow America to ban slavery. In conclusion, without Lincoln receiving his license to practice law, Abe may have never been able to run for congress or even president in which the world would be completely different than the world people live in now. “Lincoln effects contemporary society is that we look back on his presidency as a role model for future generations.” (Patel 6)…

To me that is one of the greatest achievements anyone could ever have in the united states history . Lincoln grew up with great moral in his early childhood, his family even moved because of slavery and other reasons . But that goes to show you how his parents moral views influenced him to see the world in a different way. Slavery was a huge deal back in the day, there is many triggers that started the civil war, all of which seem to be about slavery . 4 million African Americans were freed in the United States. Many people opposed the freedom of the slaves , mostly in the south . But that didn 't stop him from stopping slavery. Abraham obviously was able to completely stop slavery right away on his first term but was able to accomplish his goal before the end of his second term. Another great personal achievement was that Lincoln Unlike his father Thomas was fond of the American literature of the 1800s . Coming from a hard working family had little to no time for education, although this did not stop him. After all he did uphold his education enough that after several years of been in the Whig party that he did manage to become a well rounded lawyer. He study law in his spare time . This great success came with great benefits. He got the chance to meet many high and middle class people. This is around the time when he met his beloved wife Marry Todd. A three year…
This is a man of American history, the man who freed the African-American slaves, Abraham Lincoln remains the Great Emancipator. As a historian, I have done a lot of research on Abraham Lincoln the president of America, and there is an age-old question that does he deserve the accolade "the Great Emancipator"? Because some think he does deserve the accolade and others do not agree with that. There is much evidence to show that Lincoln deserve with that accolade. He has many speeches, letters and actions to try to build the Union stronger and not let it separate, and he also does many things such as help in the Civil War, but the most important thing that makes people remember his name as a Great Emancipator is the president who freed the slaves…
Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president, was one of the most decorated commander-in-chiefs in American History, due to his never-ending push to mend our broken nation and move to the beginning. Nevertheless, many African Americans were forced to come to America to be sold into slavery in 1619. While the treatment of slaves was very unfair and, in many cases, inhumane, and was plagued with a lifetime of hard work and humiliation, after a little more than a hundred years President Lincoln took steps to not only voice his discomfort with slavery, but to do something about it. It is because of this discomfort that Abraham Lincoln notably became known as political figure that to end slavery. Four months after the bloody Battle of Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln gave a speech that would go down in history as one of the most influential speeches in American History1. The famous speech given by President Lincoln, the “Gettysburg Address,” had a specific purpose. It also allowed Lincoln to have a profound effect on the American people as a whole, as well as urge each American to look at themselves critically and promote change. Because of this accomplishment, and many more, Abraham Lincoln is regarded as one of America’s best presidents2.…

Lincoln’s death changed the course of the country trying to rebuild after the Civil War. President Andrew Johnson was not popular and could not convince Congress especially the southerners to go along with him. Lincoln had a plan to build up the South and end the hate. He ordered amnesty and that the south be rebuilt. He pardoned, with a few exceptions, any southerner who would swear allegiance to the Union and the United States Constitution. His plan was to let the Confederate states back into the Legislature, but it was not working too well. We will never know how that went because he was assassinated. His idea always was to try to “mend fences” and forgive. The entire civil rights movement was set back because of the death of Lincoln.…
