Hero+essay-Nanci+10

A hero is someone who you look up to and follow what they do. A hero also helps you through life. A hero has to be brave, have courage, and be understanding. What comes to your mind? If a hero will not stop and help you if you are hurt then they are not understanding. A hero that is brave than that person would help someone out a burning building. Heroes also have to show courage, like drop what they are doing and help you and not run away, then they have courage. My hero is Abraham Lincoln. He is a hero because he helped people when they didn't have enough money he would give those people some money even if he needed it. When Lincoln was young he would help store owners stock shelves and clean the floors. Lincoln created a national banking system with the National Banking Act, resulting in a standardized currency. In this essay I will prove that Abraham Lincoln was a hero because a lot of people looked up to him and he was brave, had courage, and was understanding of people.

Lincoln lived from February 12, 1809 to April 15, 1865 in Illinois. The citizens of the U.S. because he became president and during that time the civil War was going on and they were trying to free slaves from slavery. Lincoln also created a national banking system with the National banking Act. Creating a banking system was major because it resulted in a standardized currency. Lincoln also patented a system to alter buoyancy of steamboats.

Lincoln decided to help free people of slavery after the civil war ended because he felt that those slaves deserved a better chance at life. Lincoln was brave enough to stand up to those that didn't want to let slaves free. He was understanding that some didn't want to let their slaves go but finally got to them and those people gave up their slaves so that they could have another chance at life. Lincoln also has courage because he didn't let people change his mind on what he wanted. The impact the above event had on the people of that time is that most were upset that Lincoln was letting slaves go free and the other half felt happy for the slaves and themselves because they were happy that the slaves got to get a second chance at life. It also impacted the people because this now meant that more people would be looking for jobs, places to live, and food and clothing. It was bad enough that it was hard for people already to find these things now you want more people looking for these things too. “As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy."

Lincoln was the president of the United States from 1861-1865 during the Civil War. He led the Union to war in order to prevent the Southern States from seceding from the United States. This meets my definition of a hero because he was brave enough to go against a group of people to run the U.S.A. Lincoln had courage in this event because he stood up to the people who wanted the Southern States to secede. Lincoln was understanding also because he understood how the people felt that wanted the Southern States to separate. This event impacted the people of this time because if the states did separate that would mean the rest of the states would have to find different ways to get there supplies if they came from the Southern States. Also because the trade would get harder for people in northern states because if they traded with people of the Southern States the northern states would have to find different people to trade with.

Stephen a. Douglas didn't like Abraham Lincoln was a hero because they were fighting against each other to become president. In a lot of debates Douglas talked smack about Lincoln and said bad things about him. Because of this Lincoln took himself out of the presidentional running for a couple of months. When Douglas found this out he thought that Lincoln was just playing with him and then Douglas took himself out also. Lincoln then put himself back in the running and became president. Douglas wanted to keep slaves and use them in bad ways like make them do more work, have way more rules, and put them to work more and almost never got brakes.

Lincoln was and still is known for letting slaves free. Lincoln was also the leader in preserving the Union during the Civil War. When Lincoln became president and let slaves go all slaves were happy and most other people also. But, there were few who didn't approve of what Lincoln was doing. One of them was Douglas. He thought that slaves should have stayed slaves and done more work than they already did and that meant no more time for breaks.

A problem people today, in the 21st century, have is that there are not enough jobs for people in the world. This is a problem because without jobs people don't get payed and without money nobody could buy anything which has already happened. Lincoln would say that this problem is not good, which is what everybody would say, but Lincoln would also try and get people jobs even if it means that they didn't work that much or didn't do much during work. Even though the people didn't do much it was good that the people gets to do some work, which meant that everybody in the world has a job. This is why I chose Abraham Lincoln. []
