    IntroductionFamous Quotation: "A house divided against itself cannot stand."

    Best known for: Abolishing

    slavery by the Thirteenth

    Amendment and theConstitution.

    3 Key Qualities:1. Perseverance 2. Communicated and Shared3. Overcame a Hardship

    What I find interesting: is that

    he had the courage to stand up

    and realize that slavery iswrong.

    I chose this person because I

    found out that he stepped a big

    step to a better future for the

    USA by abolishing slavery.

    Overcame a Hardship/Challenge

    I read that when he was 7, he

    only went to school for one year

    and still wanted to learn more.

    He taught himself with his mom

    and dad's help and reading books.I think that this would be hard on

    him because it is hard to learn to

    read by himself. Teachers are

    called teachers for a reason

    because they make it easier to

    learn.

    Showed Compassion and Empathy

    He felt terribly bad for the

    slaves at the slave market in

    New Orleans because he felt

    that being sold in chains wasnot nice. I think that because he felt

    bad for the slaves he was

    showing compassion. Most

    white people would not feel

    bad for the slaves.

    Took Action

    I read that in 1863, Lincoln

    passed the Emancipation

    Proclamation which said that

    no one in the south can own aslave.I think that this is taking action

    because before this there was

    slavery and this Proclamationwas a big step towards

    abolishing slavery.

    Persevered

    He would go without sleep

    in order to study to be a

    lawyer. I think that this is

    persevering because he

    didn't give up wanting to be

    a lawyer even though he

    was very tired.

    Impact: How Things are Different Today

    I read that he ended slavery by the

    Thirteenth Amendment and the Civil

    War. The 13th Amendment was a big

    law that abolished slavery in 1865.

    The Civil War was a war between

    the North and the South that started

    in 1861. The South didn't like that

    Lincoln was trying to abolish slavery.I think that this should be a worldlaw and that no one should ever be

    slaves.

    Viewed Problems as Opportunities

    The Civil War between the

    North and the South was a

    problem, and he viewed it as

    an opportunity to end slavery. I think that the Civil War was

    a problem and that not a lot

    of people could and would

    think of war as anopportunity.

    Demonstrated Bravery

    In 1861 Lincoln became the16th President of the United

    States of America.I think that this is

    demonstrating bravery

    because it is hard to defend a

    whole country but he was

    willing to try. Also, peoplemight not like him as a

    president.

    Communicated and Shared

    In 1863, he gave the speech

    The Gettysburg Address,

    saying that no one can own

    each other. I think that the Gettysburg

    Address was like the Civil

    Rights Movement because

    he was trying to abolishslavery.
