My+Speach+of+Why+There+are+Not+Heroes

Hello everyone, I was your 16th President and what some people think a good guy, a hero of some sort. But I actually wasn't that much of a hero, maybe a role model or a person just doing what is best for his country. I was stuck in a hard situation, people wanted me to declare war but and stop slavery but I knew it would cause a lot of death and destruction. I dont consider myself a hero because although I stopped slavery I still started a war. I **startled** people in the south when I had my troups destroy there cities but I had to do it. Like I once said, " If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening my ax". I said that because I meant I would take my time but with the war I feel as though I made a quick decision. I wish I could find a way so I didnt have to kill all those people. Now I think back at all those kids down south that would run around and play with there friends as the birds churped and the **squirrels** ran around and how they, along with 80,000 other civilians died because of war.

600,000 people died
