Lincoln was born in a wooden house and his father was a priest.
His mother died when Lincoln was young and his father remarried to another woman and Lincoln adored his stepmother. Abraham Lincoln was "addicted" to reading and learned a lot of things from books instead of going to school most of the time. Lincoln was first working as a Railsplitter. Abraham Lincoln later learned about law form books and went to become a lawyer and became a lawyer.

The conflicts on Lincoln's life is that his union army killed his brother-in-law in the confederate army. A lot of Lincoln's family on his wife's side is in the confederate army and he commands the union army, so it feels like he is killing his own family. Abraham Lincoln's children except his oldest son Robert, has passed away at young age. When his two children died, his wife went into the brink of insanity. when he passed the 13th Amandment, the law said that slavery is now illegal and should be disbanded then the southern states started to "divorce" United States and named themselves Confederate States of America, CSA.

Abraham Lincoln was important to African American history because he signed and passed a law to free the slaves. His law allowed "ex-slaves" to join the army. The slaves can do anything they want with their freedom. Lincoln made slaves equal to other people. His law has changed the face of African American history.

The memorable part of Lincoln's life is that he has signed and passed the law to free slaves. When he passed that law, everything started to change. That law has given the ex-slaves the advantage to have what the white people have, except that the ex-slaves were'nt rich but do not need to wor k for white people anymore. That law has inspired them to walk out of the plantations and live free. Ever since the law passed, the world seems to begin to evolve.

In my conclusion is that Abraham Lincoln has changed the way we live. This kind of history would have never happened without Abraham Lincoln.

 * John Brown was a deeply religous man in reality. He worked as a surveyor, he drew borders and states.**
 * John Brown had about 21 kids, 10 died and rest survived. He got married twice in his life. John worked hard to raise his children right.**


 * The parts of his lifeline has some bumps (hard times) like his 10 kids dying before reaching adulthood.

John went bankrupt.**

**If I were the leader of the free world, the issue I would solve is the economy. The economy is due to be fixed, so that it can set things back in motion. The economy is the backbone of America. Without a strong economy, we will lose many things we need like money for gas and electricity. Without paying for them, then America will become dark.**

**The economy is what set things in motion. America would be lost without the economy. The economy has been downhill ever since we started paying too much for country's defense equipment, for gas prices. The demand for oil and gas has gone overboard. We do not want to bring back the Great Depression. The Great Depression is a great example of an economy collapsing.**

**The Great Depression was a wake up call to the United States. On October 29, 1929 when the stock market collapsed, the whole country came down with it. Unemployment was high and cash flow was low.** **No one ever saw it coming. I would start some programs or charities to prevent another economy crisis.**

**As president, I would encourage the people of my country to willingly spend their money on something useful like give money to homeless shelters and orphanages. When using charities, a lot of our money will go to helping restructure America and other countries. We have spent too much money on defense systems, what’s the point of using them if everyone in the world would just unite as friends instead of enemies. The better economy we have, the better life we will have. The economy is essential to have in this lifetime.**

**To conclude, I want you all to ask yourselves, what would you do if you have a chance to make the economy better? We all might have done it differently but will affect the country the same. All in all, everyone needs to stand up and fix this problem. We all need to understand that the economy is what helps us live our lives. We all need to figure out how to fix the economy step by step.**
