Explain How To Keep A Lincoln's Promise

Throughout history, war has been one of the few constants that has never changed, because of this many have tried to aid those affected by it. In America, the Department of Veterans Affairs(VA) was created in order to specifically help veterans as they return from their service overseas. However, a few decades ago, the VA seemed to have failed in their goal during arguably one of the most important wars in American history. The mission statement, originally spoken by President Abraham Lincoln was: “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan” by serving and honoring the men and women who are America’s Veterans.” The mission statement brings up values of integrity and loyalty to America’s veterans, however

April 15, 1865 was a highly anticipated evening at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. President Abraham Lincoln, along with Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward were scheduled to attend a showing of Our American Cousin. This enjoyable gathering soon turned to tragedy for the American leaders. In the middle of the performance, shots were fired and blood was shed while the unassuming audience sat oblivious to the events unfolding. John Wilkes Booth executed his scheme to assassinate President Lincoln, one of the most important and influential men in American history, who inspired the masses with his unexpected rise to power.

The promise that Lincoln made to the Veterans was “to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan.” This is the motto for the VA, Veterans Administration, and has been since 1959. Lincoln's words stand as a reminder of what we and the government have to do for them since they have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Lincoln tried in several ways to reassure the Southerners about his intentions in his inaugural address. Since some of the Southern states were stirring away from the Union, Lincoln knew he had to do something to try and change the Southerners minds. Also, Lincoln needed to be sure that the Southern states that were in the union, stayed. In order to make sure that the Southern states that were in the union stayed, Lincoln said that there would be no bloodshed or fighting, and that he was not going to attack them. Lincoln also reassured the South by saying that if there was ever a war, it wouldn’t have been his fault and that someone else would have to have started it. Lastly, Lincoln promised the South that if they didn’t leave the union,

There are many ways that we can keep Lincoln’s promise to veterans and their families. First, we need to recognize that they have given us and the people of the U.S a lot to be thankful for. Like protecting us from terrorist groups that could kill people in the U.S if the Army and other people where not there. Some of them even give up their lives to protect us and do their duty and everybody should recognize that. And if they have a disability they should be getting some help from the government for protecting them. We can't be taking advantage of them either for the service they are performing like saying for example “it’s their choice that they joined and that is what happened to them” if they where hurt. Next, if they have a family and they have a disability it shouldn't be forced on the family.

On March 4, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln promised the following, “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and for his orphan.” His promise means when veterans return from war we should care for them. If a soldier died, care for their widow and make sure they are alright. We should care and respect the people who fought in the war. Lincoln wanted us to know what these people have done for our country and for our protection. We need to care for them so they know we care for their well being.

How do we keep Lincoln’s promise to our veterans and their families? Well think about it. You should always respect their work for our nation for thing. The work they have done for us is fighting for our lives. We should cherish them for all the things they have been through to save us and our nation. Lincoln was one of those people. I think he would love if we cherish all the veterans including him. That is only part of his promise. We need to thank the veterans for Lincoln’s promise. We should also always praise God and trust him with all your heart. He’s the one who gave us our lives. Without the veterans lives, what would have done without them fighting for our nation. What would it be like today? Probably not very good. That’s why we need

Chapter four summarizes Lincolns agenda and how he worked. He was dedicated to the whig agenda, which included things like “protectionism, government control of the money supply through a nationalized banking system, and government subsidies for railroad shipping, and canal-building businesses”(54). Lincoln aslo went by Henry Clays way of thinking, who was Lincolns idol forever. He adopted his American System, which economist have a different word for calling it, “Mercantilism”(56). The nations banking was always apart of this agenda.

The Civil War was a political agenda for Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was not concerned with slavery until the Gettysburg Address three quarters of the way through the war. He wanted to appease the Democrats, stifle opposers of his presidency, and unite the nation. All he wanted was to protect the country from breaking apart. If his plan was initially to free slaves he would have taken his ideas public seeing as how he obviously had no qualms with outraging some of the country whom he had already waged war upon.

According to Coutu (2014), President Abraham Lincoln demonstrated remarkable EQ skills during his presidency (p.5). President Lincoln incorporated the best people for the job of his cabinet, whether they liked him or not, and in just a few weeks he earned the respect of many. The author states, William Seward was opposed to President Lincoln, but after a few short weeks, he found President Lincoln to be an extraordinary man, none like he had ever meet before (p. 5). President Lincoln is best remembered for the Emancipation Proclamation to free slaves, but what some people may not realize is how he went about achieving this goal. Coutu states, President Lincoln allowed his cabinet to discuss and debate where or not to abolish slavery, and

Throughout the history of the United States of America, some of history’s greatest minds guided the country towards power and influence. The nation was bestowed with minds such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James Madison. The founding fathers were challenged with the task of establishing a stable government and creating a constitution; another challenge was preserving both. The man to take on perhaps the greatest challenge to preserve the United States government was Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of The United States. He ascended to office during a time of uproar, turmoil, and disorder.

In this document, President Abraham Lincoln gave a speech about his second term as the President of the United States, as well as the war and the future of the nation that would follow it. Lincoln opens his speech by being thankful for the re-election, followed by the hope to a resolution and peaceful future. “With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured” (Lincoln, 237). During his first term, all feared that a civil war might erupt. Once elected, war ensued. “All dreaded it¬¬—all sought to avert it”, said Lincoln about the war (Lincoln, 237). Lincoln, however, put the blame on the South for not negotiating, and rather starting a war to eliminate the Union. One-eighth of the entire Southern population were
