Hi my name is ** Mary Todd Lincoln. ** I am here today to tell you about my husband, Abraham Lincoln who many people consider to be a hero, because during his lifetime he listened to his inner voice, despite what other’s thoughts and positions were. Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky in the year of 1861. Some people might be surprised to find out that he was born into poverty. Therefore, he had to work tremendously hard to get to the point that I have reached in my lifetime. The most memorable story about Abraham Lincoln is that he was a man that believed in honesty. Even when his parents caught him in a lie at the age of nine, he listened to his conscience, and told parents the truth. This is how he got the name of “Honest Abe”. Many people think of me as a hero if their definition of a hero is a person who keeps on pursing what they feel is right even through times of distress, changes or inspires others and pursues his or her dreams about what they think is right. residency, the North and the South had a dispute against slavery. The north wanted to abolish slavery, while the South wanted to keep slavery. Despite what other people thought of the war, I listened to my inner soul, and kept on fighting for what I thought was right. Quote "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

quote "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Abraham Lincoln was considered one of the greatest leaders of all time. Even through tough times, he was able to manage to keep the United States together.

For instance, when the country was unwieldy at it's best, he fraught full of troubles and there zould have been no pleasing of everyone in the course ofthe war. I think he did try to stop the war as best he could, even to resorting to harsh tacttics(i. e., Sherman's March, which did arouse bad feelings between North and South, some of which lingers even now, sad to say)--I think the intent of that was twofold. One, to make war as unpleasant as possible, to discourage enthusasm for it on EITHER side. Two, to expedite the pace of the war, so as to end things as quickly as possible. Looking at pictures of Lincoln's face, from the time he was elected to the end of the war, he paid a heavy price for it all--there's a deep sadness in his face that points out quite clearly how badly this affected him on a personal level. Dealing with local politics(the local powerbrokers had no high opinion of him, even to parodying him in newpqpers), a rough Congress, headstrong generals, the international press, and on tiop of that, his belief that the South had to be reunited zith the North, which didn't earn him any fans on either side of the country, north or south, also added to his burden. He also wanted very much to end the war on a high note--clemency for the southern soldiers, and a gentler Reformation than what was actually doled out after his assassination There is one more factor t oadd here. There are signs that Lincoln may have suffered from manic-depressive illness. Considering THAT(and no medication back then to help him--no one thought of lithium back then to help, or even understood the littlest bit of what Lincoln was suffering), considering his tragic personal life as well, losing Tad and his other children---with all that in context, I think he did as good a job as he could, given what he knew.
