ByeonB+8F-Abraham+Lincoln

Abraham LincolnWatch this picture. It winks. This picture is a real picture of Lincoln during the somewhere around 1864 or something. This is an example of primary source.

Why Abraham Lincoln? Mr.Hurst, I would get my other papers I gave you and photocopy them and post them up before Tuesday. However, I would post everything else before Monday and I would not change anything on Monday. * DO NOT GRADE YET!!!!* There is only one main reason I chose Lincoln and that is, I envy him. I look upon him and dream to become like Lincoln. As he is my idol, I want to learn about his early childhodd life and how he came to be the best president. I want to know how he rised from the bottom to the top. I am very interested to research about him. I really enjoy this! But anyway, I am really curious about how he reunited a divided nation that was very mad at each other and with high tensions. It is just amazing! I say, "No Lincoln, No USA." That just explains how Lincoln was significant to US History. In addition, I am really anxious to find out about his great achievements and rhetorics. Also, I am really curious about the coincidential similarity with Barack Obama. Soon or later, I will become an expert in Linclon. I really admire his hard work and confident to become the nations beloved president of all times. Also, Lincoln's great heroic character and his political ability was what made me interseted. Thus, that is why my I Am person is Abraham Lincoln.

 **Phase 1: K-W-L Paragraph**

1. What do I already know about my historical figure? 2. What more do I want to learn? 3. Where can I go to find out more information? 4. What have I learned?

 My I Am person is Abraham Kincoln. Frankly, I know quite a lot about Lincolna and his acheivements. First of all, I know that he was the 16th President of the United States of America.He is known to be the greatest president in US History ever, and was strongly involved in Civil War. He had a wife, Mary Todd and four sons, but only one survived a long time, Robert Lincoln (I believe). He was very poor and lived in an one log cabinet with one room with sister and brother and dad. He had two mother, one died from, milk illness and he started to dislike his fater and like his stepmother. He reunited the separated nation into one and abolished slavery. He almost intially ended the long going slavery issue. He had two terms as presidency and made the Emancipation Proclamation, Gettysburg Address, and was fa mous for his rhethors and quotes. He redefined republicanism and was a leader of the Whig Party and the Sangndom County. His campaign was very unsuccessful in the beginning. He was the first to be a president from Illinois, first to get assassinated (by John Wilkes) and first to lie on street. Similar to Barack Obama and many memorials of him. There is President's Day, which is Lincoln's actual birthday. Well, this is what I know about Lincoln. There were numerous questions in my mind. I want to learn about the famous quotes he made or said. I am curious of his other famous rhetorics. I want to know if Lincoln was famous for the whole time or if he was a hatred by some people besides the southerners. Also, was Confederate President Davis considred to be one of the US presidents? Were they rivals in some way? In order to enhance my knowledge, I want to learn more specific details toward the significant of Lincoln. Did he have a religion or leagcy? Moreover, what cause-effect relationships are there due to the presidency of Lincoln? What could have happened if there was no Lincoln? Well, there are many sources I could find my information, albeit there are many information that are biased or inccorect. Still, I could use an encyclopedia, ask a history teacher (like Mr.Hurst), watch documentaries from reliable places (like Discovery, History, Brainpop, or HippoCampus), visit the whitehouse.gov homepage, look or observe a primary source rather than secondary sources, go to the library, and possibly wikipedia or britannica. As I already know much about Lincoln, I did learn new things. Lincoln had many quotes that people still use, like "for the people, by the people, and from the people". Also, many brigader, aircraft, and submarines were named after Lincoln to express the confidence and triumph Lincoln had. Also, automobiles were named after him, like the car brand Lincoln. There were many places in the United States that were named after Lincoln, like libraries and cities. In addition, Jefferson Davis was not considered as an US president because the Confederate were not part of the US, but a new "nation" that seceded from the Union. Lincoln had new ideas of Amercia and that his specific childhood was unknown or unclear. He also tried to negotiate with the states at first before the actual Civil War. Furthermore, Lincoln worked as a prairie lawyer and there was a well known debate, called the Lincoln-Douglas debate of 1858. Lincoln aslo conducted the war effort and was well known in terms of the Reconstruction Age of the United States. Also, the civil liberities were suspended and he had many domestic meaures by signing many acts, like Homestead Act of 1862 and the Pacific Railroad Act. He had religious and philosophical beliefs. There was an issue with Lincoln dealing with medication and melancholy. Many legacies and memorials were left that dealt with Lincoln.


 * IMPORTANT NOTE*: I have my I AM worksheet and the famous American worksheet on paper, so I will show the two things to you. I may just scan it later.

  **Phase 2: Historical Question** Another question: Did Lincoln's rhetoric actually have any affect towards the American Civil War?
 * Abraham Lincoln was considered to be the greatest president and the one who achieved a lot. What was the outcome of the Civil War like because of Lincoln's achievements? Do you think Lincoln played a major role in helping the Civil War to end? If so, why? Give concrete detail with supporting factual detail.

What is your historic question? My historic question is this: What was the outcome of the Civil War like because of Lincoln's achievements? Do you think Lincoln played a major role in helping the Civil War to end? If so, why? Give concrete detail with supporting factual detail.

What information do you expect to find from your research? I expect to find numerous different types of answers because each people would think differently about this question. Some might say there could have been a separted USA, while some would not think like that. This question could be debatable. Some people might hate Lincoln, while most of the people would. Moreover, I expect to find many information that deal with what Lincoln did and his achievements. Probably, there would be many information that are analyzed.I also expect to find written essays about this question from historians and teachers or students. Also, I would find many information about the Emancipation Proclamation, Reconstruction Age, and many more. Probably, I would find information about he end of the Civil War as well.

What information resource(s) will you use first to find the answer to your question? I will use a secondary source first because I would like to see what other people think about the question.Specifically, I would look at historians who wrote an analysis about Lincoln. I would like to see the idea of people and how they support that point.

 **Phase 3: Primary Sources**

Rhetoric: 1) [|The Gettysburg Address]

F our score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Lincoln quote on laws: "The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly." Lincoln quote on slavery: "Whenever [I] hear any one, arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally." Lincoln quote on Constitution: "Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties." Lincoln quote on purpose on government: "The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do for themselves in their separate and individual capacities. But in all that people can individually do for themselves, government ought not to interfere."
