Lincoln’s Award Ladies and gentlemen, It gives me great pride and honor to be here today. Like every year, I give an award to the most supportive, helpful, and honorable person. This years award goes to… President Lincoln. This year, he has made a difference throughout the whole nation. This act is life changing. There are three important reasons, in why Lincoln should receive this award. The first reason is that, he issued the Emancipation proclamation. Even though he considered slavery immoral, he didn’t want to move against slavery, because of the border states. He knew that making an issue of slavery would divide the people and make the war less popular. Lincoln also didn't want to look desperate, so he had to at least win a battle.
