Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln influenced the Civil War by changing America's views on slavery and forming the Union into a new nation. He inspired many lives and brang a new light of intelligence into the world. He succeeded and failed, but always stayed positive.

Born on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln grew up not being very successful. Neither of his parents were educated, and they lived working on the farm. One thing he grew up knowing about was love. Lincoln married the second and true love of his life, Mary Todd. She was smart, witty, and a genuine southern belle coming from a high classed Kentucky family. Her relatives doubted Lincoln in many ways, they believed she should not of been associated with him. At times, Lincoln thought the same and wondered if he would ever make her happy like he wanted her to be. (< http://school.eb.com/eb/article-9108307>.)

As the issue of slavery arose and Lincolns life went on, Lincoln decided it was time to do something significant. He ran for president so he could change the world. When Lincoln got elected president, the southern states went abrupt with hatred. There whole way of living was slavery and they knew the new President was not going to allow much more of it. Since Lincoln was antislavery, many Southerners disliked him very much. They knew that once he came into office slavery would be inexpandable. To keep him out of office, they threatened to seceed the Union.So they could keep there precious slavery, the southern states kept there word and started to seceed. The first to go was South Carolina, and Lincoln knew there was many more to come. That killed Lincoln because he stood mainly for unity and wanted the Union to stay together. (World Book Volume L; < http://school.eb.com/eb/article-9108307>. )

One of the most remembered things that Lincoln did was getting to the end of slavery. Trying not to weaken the southern economy, in 1862 he tried to officially put an end to slavery, even though the Norths goal was to keep the Union together. Abolitionsists believed Lincoln was being lazy with the issue of slavery, but what they didnt know is he had reasons, like so he could keep the Union as one. In 1862 also, Lincoln decided to create the Emancipation Proclamation to change the law of slavery in the Union. He told the members what he wanted to do, but he never fully told or asked the advice of his cabinet. With the help of a colleague, he decided to wait until a Northern Victory happened.

Years and years later, President Lincoln made a record that to this day he still is probably not aware of. He was the first president to ever be assassinated. A man names John Wilkes Booth was who murdered him, he hated Lincoln and wanted revenge for what he thought he did to the South. The murder was very planned out and when Booth heard that Lincoln was going to be at theatre he thought it was perfect. Shooting him right in the back of the head, Lincoln was murdered. Whenever Pesident Lincoln passed away, many people were crushed. They loved him as a father, and they loved his "kindly spirit of selflessness." Even his enemies were mournful of his death. (World Book Volume L; [])======

As you can see, during his presidency, Lincoln made many accomplishments that still stand to this day. He was a great leader and changed the world with his laws in slavery, life, and politics. He was a great and inspirational man that many can look up to even to this day.======
