Abraham Lincoln


ABRAHAM LINCOLN FROM PIONEER TO PRESIDENT.
            At first in Abraham Lincolns life he became a lawyer. Then he got into politics. Later on in Abraham Lincolns  life he became president and passed the law of Emancipation Proclamation even though Abraham Lincoln passed the law at first the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free any slaves.
            What made Abraham Lincoln famous was that he freed the slaves. “I pledge to be CARING toward other and live a life of SERVICE” Abraham Lincoln cared about the blacks being slaves. He is a president for his service.
            Early in Abraham Lincolns life he went to law school and became a lawyer. Later on Lincoln ran for president and won the election. Later on he was re-elected for president and he was aiming for peace. He also passed the Emancipation Proclamation which freed the slaves inside of the United States of America.
            Abraham Lincolns biggest accomplishment was freeing the slaves. With the Emancipation proclamation. On the day he signed it no slaves were freed till like a week later. Without Lincoln signing and passing the Emancipation Proclamation the black slaves would of not been freed and he probably wouldn’t of won the Civil War.
Abraham Lincoln exemplifies the part of the creed that says “I pledge to be CARING toward others and live a life of SERVICE.” Abraham Lincoln cared about the blacks being slaves that’s why he freed them. Abraham Lincoln did care or he wouldn’t of freed the slaves. Abraham Lincoln cared about getting the war over with so people could have rights. If Abraham Lincoln didn’t care he would of kept the war going and losing men. Abraham Lincoln became president so he could serve his country. If Abraham Lincoln didn’t want a life a service he would of not became president of the United States of America.
            Abraham Lincoln resembles the part of the creed that says “I pledge to be caring and live a life of service.” Abraham Lincoln lived a life of service by becoming the president of the United States twice. Abraham Lincoln did free the slaves with the law of Emancipation Proclamation. We should all try to be caring towards others so that everybody can feel excepted in today’s society.

Hey, Yep it's the crazy blond in your 2nd period!:) first i wanted to say that i think that in a way it was good that you choose this person. It makes me wonder if the reason why you chose this person is because he has influenced you in some way or another. I like that you choose that to put that he was caring and lived a life of service. I think that you can work on making some of your paragraphs longer espicially in the 2nd and 3rd paragraph. I learned from your report that Abraham wrote the Emancipation proclamation.
