One similarity is that they both worked to help the minorities. Another similarity is that they both succeed in helping others even though it took many years. They are also both similar in the fact that they both were determined, they felt there was an injustice and they wanted to fix it. One difference is that Caroline met with the people she was helping while Lincoln never met each individual person.

The biggest topic of debate during this time was slavery, therefore Lincoln and Douglas not only differed in their views on slavery, but also attempted to discredit the other candidate’s views by bringing up past speeches. Slavery was not the only topic during these debates, there were also debates on equality and state power over slavery.
First, let me begin by giving you some similarities between Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Washington and Lincoln became president during a time that was shaken by war, and a time where the people were looking for guidance. President Washington helped pave the way for the Constitution and helped write it while dealing with breaking from Britain while Lincoln fought to uphold the Constitution.

Abraham Lincolns plan was to get voting rights for blacks; however, only those who helped fight in the war and the most intelligent or literate ones could vote. The thirteenth amendment abolished slavery. The African
Abraham Lincoln assumed the office of the President of the United States 153 years ago. Barack Obama did the same 148 years later. Nearly fifteen decades separate these two historical events and astounding men.

The differences between Lincoln and Obama are evident and expected, but the similarities are remarkable and extraordinary.
