I'm learning more about Abraham Lincoln right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is Did Lincoln Free The Slaves Because He Cared or did he free the slaves to create a stronger union ? . I was researching this question online, and this article caught my attention because the title grasped my attention and i felt thought it would give me some great answers on my question also the beginning of the article was interesting to me because it told me peoples point of view on how they felt about Abraham Lincoln. The Title is “Abraham Lincoln -A Legacy Of Freedom” something i saw in the article that helped me with my question was he said all men are created equal because to me this signifies that he believe that black men are created equal with white men any complexion you are men should have the same rights so this put me in a place to think that Lincoln was a man who believe in equality.this source of information sparks my interest because this little information i got told me a lot on how Lincoln's personal thoughts was about how things were back then.
“I do not want a negro woman for a slave i must necessarily want her for a wife “
The quote I chose here is basically saying that Abraham Lincoln was against slavery he's basically saying that he does not want any African american for a slave he would rather want them as a wife he thinks that African american woman should be treated with respect and love rather being beaten and being told what to do.
I think this is descriptive because this quote helped me understand what type of person Abraham Lincoln was as far as the issue of slavery and that he did give thought on how the African american slaves was being treated. It makes me wonder about how Lincoln was as president and also makes me wonder about how he was a good man that didn't care, how other people felt or disagreed with him about African american slavery.i wonder how people that was for slavery and wanted this to keep going on how did they feel when Abraham Lincoln stated hes quote.

“Lincoln Was A Progressive Man A human Man An Honorable Man And At Heart An Anti Slavery man”
The quote I chose here is basically saying how Frederick Douglass felt about Abraham Lincoln he felt as though Lincoln was a great man a progressive man meaning he changed society for life he progressed into something that changed the world and peoples lives a human he was only human and made a big change for our future honorable Lincoln was honorable for his decision in freeing the slaves so for African american i know really honored him because African american people was the slave and an anti slavery man he didn't believe in slavery that why he had to put an end to it one way or another.
I think this is a strong quote because he was very descriptive when speaking about Abraham Lincoln he used words to define how he feels about Lincoln and not only did he speak about his feeling towards him about freeing the slave he also spoke about how he felt about lincoln as a man. It makes me wonder how other people felt about lincoln well african american people felt about lincoln because lincoln made a big difference in the black society. so i wonder if people felt the same as Mr Douglass or no.

“His have portrayed the mythical Lincoln as a man who brooded for decades over how he could someday free the slaves”
The quote I chose here is basically saying that lincoln was brooded meaning he was deeply thinking about free the slaves for a long time and the reason he was thinking about free the slaves for a long time was because he knew some people really didn't want to free the slaves so he knew he had to think of a strong plan that was going to get some people to agree with him but back then white people really didn't want African Americans as friends they want them to work they treated black people like nothing so this quote is saying lincoln thought hard about freeing the slaves but he knew that was something he had to do because in his mind he knew wasn't right
I think this is strong because this is telling me what Lincoln was feeling and that he really knew what was wrong and he made it right and this really helps me understand why it took so long to free the slaves because some people didn't want him to and he knew a lot of people would turn on him and not like him so this give me a real understanding It makes me wonder why they killed him and why African american people honor Lincoln so much because he went out his way to make things right for this world and African Americans .
I'm learning more about Abraham Lincoln right now, and in particular what i'm wondering about is did lincoln free the slaves because he cared or because he wanted to make a stronger union? I was researching this question online and this video caught my attention because it was stating facts that i have read in books and found interesting when reading these books. i found that lincoln did what he felt was not not what anyone told him and that to me tells me a lot about how lincoln thought were and where he wanted to go with begin elected as president . he was a man with courage and also a man who thought about everyone not just his self and his people.
"Lincoln was not the great emancipator he becomes the great emancipator”(24:51)
The quote i chose here is basically saying that lincoln was a regular man like you and me and this is something that he wanted to become a great emancipator. he wanted to end slavery and show people that violence should not be the answer that knowledge and facts is the key to greatness and he wanted to share this with everyone so by doing so he becomes more of a great emicaptor and that the title wasn't giving to him overnight. he knows how to work with his enemies and friends to create respect and dignity that every man should be equal.
I think this important because this sums up how lincoln was during his childhood and years as president. he was the same person and did what was best for his country and the people in it. this also helps me answer my question that lincoln did care about slavery that’s why he made a difference because he felt though it would break the untied states down more if slavery continued.
Its makes me wonder how people still today view lincoln overall because me i use to think lincoln was no good and did what was best for his people i was told this by my grandmother but now after reading books ,videos and movies all of these
sources have the same information that guide me and my information the right way. i gain a lot of knowledge looking at these videos etc and i think people out there that had the same mindset as me should really do there research and find their answer instead of basing the answer on what someone told them.

The quote I chose here is basically saying that lincoln shows the people of the united states greatness because of the speeches he makes to inspire the people that change is for the better and can help us in the near future and when u have greatness in you not only is it helping you today it will help you in the future and he defined himself as a man that never gave up also a man that wanted to create change.
