Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in 1809 on February 12 in southeast Hardin Country, Kentucky. Living in a one room log cabin Abraham Lincoln were very poor he was mostly self-educated and read books of laws. Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. Lincoln was an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United State and freed slavery after the civil war. The President Abraham Lincoln died on April 15 1865 after begin shot in the back of the head during the Ford's theater in Washington, DC. Before Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President, he marry a rich woman Mary Todd in 1842. Lincoln was from the low case and still Marry Todd accpect him for who he was. Lincoln and Mary Lincoln had children together, but right after few years a few of theirs sons died of ill. The death of their sons had profound effects on both Lincoln and wife Mary. Abraham Lincoln is the one of the important President in Africa America to sign the pager of freeing slaves. Lincoln had concluded at this point that the war could not be won without freeing the slaves, and so it was a necessity to do more to help the cause. His paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If Lincoln could save the Union without freeing any slave he would do it, and if he could save it by freeing all the slaves Lincoln would do it and if he could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone Abraham Lincoln would also do that. What President Lincoln do about slavery, and the colored race, he do because believe that itn helps to save the Union. I will always remember Abraham Lincoln was the ONLY President to free slavery to let slaves have freedom and to believe to save the union. As long as the world canmremember. That's why we stillmhonor the 16th President Abraham Lincoln for over years as ammemorable. And I will never forgetmthe lives he lived for a few years in the white house. The sad story,of his lost sons and his earlynpoor lives in Hardin Country, Kentucky how he was self-educated with books. My Conclusion is we people still learn about the lives of AbrahamLincoln everyday in history and culture.President Abraham Lincoln will always forever be in history.

**In 1800s John Brown who was an abolitionist to free slaves who was born in the town of Torrington, Connecticut. John moved a lot all his life and learned to become a tanner. When he was 12 he went on a business trip and at 16 John went to college in Massachusetts to become a minter.**

**John Brown travel to make speeches to start a war in Harper Ferry, Virgina. John went to Harper Ferry, Virgina to cut off train and telegraph communication after stating battle in Virgina, John expected many slaves would escape to join the rebellion for freedom.**

**My hardest choose that I think John Brown was a freedom fighter but he did a lot of terrible things to stop slaves. John Brown fought for slaves he wanted slaves to live freedom. He made speeches and have other African American right along with him. John feels that he have a strong feeling to end slaves. John Brown also wanted other states in America to abolitionist slaves and states to be freedom.**

**My conclusion I think John Brown**
