264 Words2 Pages
Both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass are well-known for their achievements that changed many American’s lives. Not only were they abolitionists but they were people who represented freedom and liberty. Abraham Lincoln, president during the Civil War, is an example of a true hero that showed heroism. He has risked and sacrificed his lives to accomplish what he believed was right. Unlike others, Abraham wasn’t only fighting for himself. This is showed when Dr. Gurley says :“Not for himself only, not for us only, but for all people in all their coming generations” (SB pg. 68). Impacting our society today, he has changed our world and the way we look at slavery. Even though he died, people, up to this day, still remember his courageous actions.
