My Hero


He was noble. He was brave. He was respected. He was strong. He was honorable. He was our sixteenth president. He is Abraham Lincoln, my hero.

Abraham Lincoln is my hero because he was and is all those things and more. He lead the United States through its most devastating time, the civil war, and kept our nation undivided and united. He also stopped slavery from spreading and made it illegal with the emancipation proclamation and the thirteenth amendment.

Abraham Lincoln is a hero to many, but there is always someone who disagrees with or dislikes someone. In Lincolns case it was those who thought he should compromise on the slavery issue, the Confederate army, the southern sates in the civil war, and of course John Wilkes Booth and his followers who assassinated him.
