Abraham Lincoln overcame many challenges throughout his life that demonstrated his courage and determination. As a young boy, he helped bury family members who had died and made long journeys alone. As a young man, he volunteered to help prevent Indian attacks despite the risks. As President during the Civil War, he freed slaves through the Emancipation Proclamation and worked tirelessly to abolish slavery and preserve the Union, even though he knew it could lead to violence. Lincoln's lifelong ambition was to end slavery and bring freedom to all people in the United States.

end, even when it seemed
impossible. “His greatest
mission was … to free his
country from the great crime
of slavery.” - Fredrick
Douglass
• He worked hard throughout
the Civil War to keep the
country together. He did this
by trying to find a good
general which, was hard
because there were only few
in the north.

5. Loyal = blue

soldiers on both sides of
the Civil War. He did that

stayed true to the
Constitution and his
country. “… I shall have
the most solemn one
(oath) to „preserve, protect

I picked this song because it is perfect for Abe. It expresses him
as President. It is a very noble and courageous song, which are
two character traits for him. It also a nicely themed song, cool
tempo and awesome melody. This song has a 1800s feel to it
from my perspective. That is why I think this song is totally
perfect for Abe.
