 Hero Oral Story©     

Hi, my name is Abraham Lincoln. I am a person who went out of my way to help a lot of other people unselfishly, and by doing that made a positive impact on their life. I am the greatest American Hero because I was the sixteenth president of the United States. I was president during the Civil War from 1861-1865. I led this wonderful country through one of the hardest times. I was once told a story by one of the slaves that I ended up freeing. They said that they were looking through the window of their house and they saw a squirrel starting to push another squirrel. They told me that it reminded them of what was happening to them, by them just saying that to me it startled me, I was not expecting this. That really hurt me inside. Right then is when I knew that I needed to help them. I was not going to let them be that squirrel being pushed around by someone just like them, it was just not fair. I then made it my duity to help them, and I did, that is why I consider myself to be the Greatest American Hero. Quote: "I leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer be a doubt that all men are created free and equal."
