Several months ago,I read a book written for high school students. It was a Abraham Lincoln biography.
The book was in a prosaic and chronicle pattern,easy for readers to get a whole view of Lincoln's life,and also rich in content when you wanted to discover more. Through this book,I realized Lincoln's greatness and his contrbution to the U.S.
Lincoln was great because he stopped the possible breakdown of the federation,and he contributed indirectly to the super power status the U.S. has enjoyed to date. Some historians argued why America didn't separate into pieces,as nations respectively,like continental Europe. The answer might be Lincoln. He saved America as a whole,and made people know a separate America was no longer available.
Lincoln fought the civil war because he had to. He was reluctant to open fire to his fellow citizens. And,by the book,throughout the war Lincoln was not always confident that he would finally win. That is the vital detail we should keep in mind. He was an ordinary person,just like you and me. He fought the war by his will,and finally perseverance paid off and led him to the victory.
Lincoln was vividly portrayed in the book. He saved the Union,he wanted his countrymen to be treated equally no matter what colors their skins were,and he has been regarded one of the greatest presidents Americans admired as a result.
