“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
On Monday you guys interpreted this excerpt from The Declaration of Independence (signed 4th of July, 1776). It is time to jump forward some 75 years and get to know one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history; namely Abraham Lincoln. This is the guy who led U.S.A. through the Civil War (1861 – 1865) - trying to keep the country united while fighting for the freeing of the slaves. He believed that ALL men was created equal – not just the white man. Let’s just call him “Awesome Abe”, because he was truly awesome – THE Freedom Fighter of the 19th century.
Take a look at the video-clip above. Write down 10 facts you find important to know when it comes to “Awesome Abe” and bring them to class.
