Abraham+Lincoln-Pats4life


 * Definition of Hero: Someone you can rely on, Someone you can trust, and a leader.

1) Intro to your 19th Century hero

2) Put hero’s life into perspective–when did they live, where, who were they trying to help, why, how, why was this important? Abraham Lincoln lived during the time of the Civil War. He was one of the main people in the Civil War because he was President at the time and he was on the North side. He thought that slavery was bad and thought that everyone should be treated fairly. This was important becuase the south had been beating and being bruttle to the slaves.

3) What makes your person a hero–you must prove that your person meets the criteria of your own personal definition(this is the meat of your wiki page and your submission to the My Hero website-your looking at a good four paragraphs here–focus on that spark, that moment the person decided to be heroic or do heroic acts. What makes my person a hero is that he is someone you can trust to make the right decitions because for example when he made the dection to go to war with the south to stop slavery. He is also someone you can rely on becuase if he says somthing hes going to back it up and not just back down from what he says. Something els that makes him a hero is that he shows leadership. When they were in the war he didnt back down no matter what happend he always kept fighting and fighting.

4) What is the person’s legacy? Abraham Lincolns legacy was that he was the sixteenth president. But he was one of the more important presidents. He thought that slavery wasnt good and should be abloished. He then declared war on the South becuase they wouldnt abloish slavery. He then won the war and slavery was abloished.

5) What advice would they have for today’s youth? I think that he would let some things slide on the immagration law becuase he might think that everyone should be treated fairly. I also think that he would keep people out of iraq because he would think that those people deserve to live there live in peace. Another thing i think abraham lincoln would do is crack down on sweat shops because all of the people that work in the sweat shops are all being under paid and if he thinks that everyone should be treated fairly then they should be paid the same amount as a normal person should or get the minimum wage.
