I died on December 13, 1927 at the age of 82. I died due to old age. I lived a happy life surrounded by family. I died wearing a locket from my mom and the watch my grandpa gave to me. I died doing what I love, writing letters in my notebooks and reading books under the Oak Tree that I always was by as a child.  Throughout my life I did many things to help out on our family farm. I did not have a job as I just worked on the farm. I never found a soulmate so I lived at home and helped out my family.

We got the news today that President Lincoln has been shoot at Ford's Theatre by John Wilkes Booth. Later in the day we get even better news that President Lincoln has died. We cannot thank John enough as we do not have to deal with Lincoln and all the bad choices that he has made.

This was a path of destruction throughout Georgia. He did not destroy Savanna because of the beauty. When I found out that he chose to not to destroy my home town I was so excited. Instead he sent a letter to President Lincoln offering the city of Savanna as a Christmas present.

Just before the third year of the civil war. Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation which freed all slaves. My family did not like this because we lost all the slaves and now we have to do our own work for ourselves. My grandpa was very stressed out as this meant he could not have slaves anymore. One of my grandpas slaves gave him a watch. My grandpa then gifted me the watch. This watch means a lot to me so I wear it everyday. Losing slaves also had a major affect on our economy because we did not have slaves to do the work for us.

Many battles occurred. It was sad how many lives were lost and how many people were hurt. The battles continued for many more years across the land which destroyed homes and buildings.

Abraham Lincoln was elected for president. He was elected because the Northern States had more people than the South. I was furious Lincoln was elected president because he was not the in the political party that I have grown up with my whole life. Shortly after we succeeded. This time was also very hard for me because I lost my mom. I really struggle with this because my mom meant everything to me.

Savanna is a beautiful place to live. The Grand Oak Trees  decorated with Spanish Moss was a place for me to go and read or write letters. So everyday I would go outside with my book and my notebooks and write letters to soldiers that were away at war telling them how I believed in them and how I was very thankful that they were serving our country. My father always said to me "Alice go read under The Oak Trees".  The citizens of Savanna are very polite and elegant. The politeness of the people made it easy to make friends and made it a positive atmosphere and a great place to live.
