ReplyDelete2.)The article is very good it gives a lot of information about this time in history.
3.)My favorite speech of Lincoln's is his "Four score and seven years ago" speech. I like this speech a lot because it talks about when this nation was born, it was meant to be a free country and everyone is equal, yet we had a civil war about people not being equal. When people were better than other people. It talked about people who loved Lincoln so much they were on his side fighting for other people's freedom.

My favorite quote of Abraham Lincoln is "The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time". This quote means that our future comes day by day, it doesn't come by years. You want to plan your day one day at a time. Never look into the future. What ever comes in that day is what was meant for you.

3.) My favorite speech is "Now that we are engaged to the Civil War." It means that is testing in the nations. Any nation is conceived or dedicated that we are met on a good battlefield during a war. It's the final resting place for soldiers that gave their lives on the nation might live on. And it is a fitting or proper that they should do it for the government.

My favorite quote by Abraham is "Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing" because it's a good metaphor and it's very true.
