Abraham Lincoln
"As I would not be a SLAVE so I would not be a MASTER. This idea expresses my idea of democracy- whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy-"
A. Lincoln
There are many heroes today and yesterday. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Abraham Lincoln are just a two of the many heroes America has had. Abraham Lincoln is a hero in so many ways. He freed the slaves by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, led the the Civil War, and stayed true to his country.
Lincoln, like Martin Luther King, Jr., was such a significant part of this world and had so many great characteristics. He was loyal to his country and was dedicated to his job at all times. He has made such an impact in the world and has made so many changes back in time that have effected us now!
