Lincoln's emancipation proclamation stated that all individuals who were held as slaves “hence ward shall be free”.( Biography). President abraham lincoln became father abraham a near mythological hero. A “lawgiver” to african americans,And a masterpiece of god sent to save the union.(Biography). His humor was present as an example of his humanity. His humorous pardons stated his “great soul” and his sorrowful demeanor reflected the burdens of his journey as the leader of a “blundering and sinful country”.(Biography). This shows that Abraham Lincoln impacted all the lives of african americans that were enslaved during the Civil War. Because he was committed to preserving the union and thus vindicating democracy no matter what the consequences to himself the union was indeed saved. Because he understood that ending slavery required patience, careful timing. Shrewd conclusion, and an iron resolve, slavery was killed. Lincoln managed in the process of saving the union and killing slavery to define the creation of a more perfect union.(

Throughout the years we have had some great United States presidents and some terrible ones. When we elect a president, we want someone who will improve our country and stabilize our economy. However, many presidents do not accomplish this during their term and end up causing the opposite effect to happen. One president who is on the list of presidents that made the country worse and our economy decline is George W. Bush. He was the United States president from 2001 to 2009. George W. Bush was one of the worst United States presidents for many reasons, but the top three on my long list are first and foremost his decision to start the war on Iraq, second his support of the Military Commissions Act, and last but not least his handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America he was frequently referred to as the ‘’The great emancipator’’ and yet although he didn’t publicly call for the emancipation of the entire life. Lincoln established his public career by declaring that he was anti-slavery against slavery’s increasing but not for announcing immediate emancipation. However, the man who began as ‘’anti-slavery’’ eventually announced the emancipation proclamation in which freed all slaves in states that were in rebellion.

Abraham Lincoln has gone down as one of the most prominent presidents in the American history, from his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, to his assassination. Having to deal with some of the most troublesome times in the History of America, as president, Abraham did “to the best of my [his] ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States,” (Source B) in hopes to combine the North and South to once again become a United Nation. However, the status of African Americans in relationship of Lincoln must be analyzed further, as it was a crucial aspect of his presidency and distinction as “The Great Emancipator.” Although Lincoln was “ naturally anti-slavery,” (source B) he viewed it

When President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of our United States, brought forth the idea of the Emancipation Proclamation his dream was to give all of the slaves freedom and give them equal rights. But was his dream able to become a reality? Did he realize what problems he was going to encounter? My thesis argument will be to think about what he did and how he went about it, and see if he really did the right things at the right time, or was it entirely a political move to enhance his presidency?

Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation is one of the most successful and influential documents in America’s history and throughout the world. Slavery in America had been a substantial part of its history since the early 1600’s and would eventually lead to be a very controversial topic throughout the country. It was an issue that divided the nation momentously into one of the bloodiest wars in world history where even further history would be made through the final abolition of slavery. The effects from the most imperative milestones would be everlasting and even to this day discrimination and segregation are still being felt. Abraham Lincoln is the most respected and significant President of the United States and through the Proclamation, its effects and its influences turned the course of American history forever.

President Abraham Lincoln was one of the most honest and most popular of all of the presidents. For a large part of that presidency, however, he was only president of half of the country due to the nature of the American Civil War. Throughout his time in office, he was able to deliver many great speeches, of which include the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address. In both of these orations, he uses primarily uses ethical appeals to assist in the deliverance of and strengthen the main themes.

Abraham Lincoln became the president of the United States of America in March of 1861. While he led the country through one of the worst wars in the history of America, he is most known for abolishing slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation, thus giving him the nickname of “The Great Emancipator.” There are a great amount of debates on whether Lincoln was worthy of this title, one reason being that the Emancipation Declaration was limited and did not abolish slavery, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery, which would come later in January of 1865. As the Civil War was going on, Lincoln needed to gather the Southern states that had seceded, back into the union, and issuing the proclamation was more of a military necessity than it was a humanitarian decision.

Even though Abraham Lincoln was considered to be one of America’s greatest presidents, Hofstadter challenges that idea. Hofstadter also states that Lincoln was an advocate for the common man and believed in simplicity. – “It was precisely in his attainments as a common man that Lincoln felt himself to be remarkable, and in this light that he interpreted to the world the significance of his career.” Lincoln struggled with many conflicts as president. The most significant conflict that Hofstadter presents is the conflict of his balancing his religious beliefs and ultimate goals of becoming successful. “The motivating force in the mythology of success is ambition, which is closely akin to the cardinal Christian sin of pride… How can an earnest man, a public figure living in a time of crisis, gratify his aspirations and yet remain morally whole? “He believes that making him known to be the “clean hero” was completely outlandish. Hofstadter’s biggest criticism about Lincoln is that “he was a follower and not a leader of public opinion.” One major example was the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, which stated that “contained no indictment of slavery, … expressly omitted the loyal slave states from its terms … [and] did not in fact free any slaves.” Hofstadter also criticizes Lincoln’s “embarrassing contradictions” when it came to the topic of slavery, where in a Chicago speech he presented he said

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is famous for being one of the few presidents who were assassinated, the Gettysburg Address, and abolishing slavery. During the Civil War, slavery was an issue, but it wasn’t President Lincoln’s main goal of the war. His actions on freeing slaves in the Southern states, issued by the Emancipation Proclamation, were being controlled by the Civil War. In a letter President Lincoln wrote to Albert Hodges, Lincoln said, “I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.” The Civil War was fought between the Northern states and Southern states between 1861 and 1865. President Lincoln put out a Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, stating that all slaves in Southern states who were still in rebellion would be free after January 1, 1863. However, it had no immediate effect, not until the

On September 22, 1862, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, issued the first, or preliminary, Emancipation Proclamation. In this document he warned that unless the states of the Confederacy returned to the Union by January 1, 1863, he would declare their slaves to be “forever free.” During the Civil War, he was fighting to save the Union and trying not to free the slaves. Lincoln was quoted to say, “I am not, nor have ever been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races.” The Emancipation Proclamation illustrated this view.

President Abraham Lincoln was a bold individual who acted on what he felt was ethically correct. Despite congress being against his wishes, he did not waiver in what he believed in.

On September 11, 2001, America was attacked by terrorists. Before this traumatic event, one could not even imagine someone doing such a thing.
