4 Key qualities

1. Tall2. Bright3. Brave4. Showed perserverance

What I Find Interesting:

He is so famous that the person who shot him is very very famous for it.

I CHOSE THIS PERSON BECAUSE...

He loves his family, and so do I too. also he is one of the greatest presidents who ever lived.

quotation:

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

I read that abe's mom died when he was 9.

I think IT was hard for him because he loved his mommy so much.

I read that his friend duff was in jail for murder, but he did not do it. as a lawyer, lincoln tried to get him out of jail, and did.

I think that lincoln wanted to help.

I learned that he joined the army because the black hawk tribe Wanted back their land.

I THink he was brave because he could have died because the native americans were threatening to kill people in the army.

I READ THAT NANCe, A BLACK PERSON WHO WASN'T A SLAVE, BUT WAS TREATED LIKE A SLAVE, WAS SOLD AND SHE WAS TREATED BADLY. SLAVERY WAS NOT ALLOWED IN ILLINOIS. ABE ARGUED FOR HER IN COURT AND WON.

I think abe was really nice to help nance.

I REAd that he freed all the slaves In the civil war on january 1 1863.

I think he was really proud of himself.

I read that he walked five miles to school because he was desperate to go to school because he really wanted to learn.

I think it would be a lot of work to walk that far for a young kid like him.

I read that there is no more slavery in the united states because of him, but there is in other parts of the world.

I think slavery would be bad because we could be slaves.

I read that the civil war was for a different reason, but he made it to free the slaves and the other things.

I think he hated slavery.

I read that he campaigned for 2 weeks and lost but the next time he campaigned more and won.

I think he really wanted to become president.

I read that he really liked fredrick douglas and always sent notes and letters to him about what he was doing to help the slaves.

i think they liked each other because they both hated slavery.

PERSEVERED WHEN...he walked 5 miles to give 3 cents back.

SHOWED COMPASSION WHEN he fought for the whole nation.

TOOK ACTION BY...freeing the slaves.

MADE A DIFFERENCE WHEN..won the civil war.

I'm A change maker when I...

solve problems in a calm way.

I'm Similar to my change maker becauseour parents are both strict, we love our families and books.
