2. Timeline At 7, he made a 100 mile ride on 2 horses. This is courageous because there might have not been good roads and he could have gotten robbed or hurt. At 23, he volunteered to participate in preventing the hostile Indian tribes from invading. He could have gotten killed or hurt but he still volunteered. At 37, he was in Congress. After three months, his wife and kids left for Kentucky without him. Instead of joining them, he decided to stay and face the rest of his first term alone At 37, he worked long, hard hours with his speech disorder. Now people call him one of the best speakers in U.S history. This is courageous because he knew he was going to have to deal with his disability frequently. At 9, he watched his mother, his aunt and his uncle die. This is courageous because he even buried them and stayed by them until they died.
3. Timeline 2 At 37, in his first year in Congress he spoke his mind even though he was new and did not know anyone. At 38, he voted and made speeches to stop the spread of slavery. That’s courageous because he knew that this might end in violence. At 54, as President, he announced the Emancipation Proclamation which freed many slaves. He knew a lot of people would hate this, but he did it for the good of the society. At 56, the Civil War finally ended. He kept fighting and wishing slaves were free. Now after all that they were free. It was courageous because he knew it would end in war and it did. At 56, a lot of Confederate people wanted to kill him, and he knew that, but he still went to plays and other events, but he paid for it. He died at a show.

11. Hail To The Chief 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.
