Speeches / The great history of Abraham Lincoln - presentation speech. [4]
Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 in Kentucky. He was elected 16th president of the United States in 1861. At that time, the country was having problems regarding the practice of slavery. The people of northern states were against this practice, but the southern states wanted to keep it. This made the country going to split up.
After that, a civil war broke out between the northern and southern states. In order to keep the country in unity, he fought the war bravely and won the war. Finally, the practice of slavery was abolished. Because of this, he was one of the greatest presidents of the United States.
Although Abraham Lincoln was very smart, he still made several mistakes. For example, he underestimated his opponents and resulted an assassin was able to sneak into a box and shoot him. Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.
In my opinion, Abraham Lincoln was very persistent. He attended school for less than a year. He taught himself to read and write. Initially, he worked on the farm of his father. He did different types of jobs before he settled as a highly successful lawyer and then a great president. After reading his story, I learnt what it means to never give up.
