Lincoln’s Inaugural Address explanation

The Start of Nationwide Peace

To move on is to forget,

And to forget is to forgive.

Let's unite as one and in peace we will live

This war has caused chaos, malice, and hate

It's time to back off and make our nation great.

As we move forward we must love our brothers

And will no longer try and fight one another.

We will try our best to be kind,

So that we can let the wounds of our nation finally bind.

This message was shorter than the first

Because we have already been through the worst.

The war is ending and we're about to be done

It's time to come together rather than run

1930s Former Slaves Talks About Their Childhood

Lincoln’s goal with his Inaugural Address was to make the nation unite as one. He uses his words and Biblical references to comfort the people at the end of the war.

One of Lincoln’s main points is about how the Civil War was one of God’s many judgements. He ends his speech by emphasizing that there is no malice, only love, for the Confederates as they move forward as one nation.

This, I believe, was a game changer for the United States of America as a whole, especially after spending the previous few years at war with one another. Lincoln began to pull America together, making it as united and free, and we would not be where we are today if it weren't for him.

In this narrative, readers are introduced to two key themes: the cruelty of slavery and the lack of education that slaves are allowed to receive. Frederick writes the story as his own personal history in an attempt to display that slavery was a horrible system that needed to end.

Since Douglass had a better education than most slaves, he was able to grasp the concept of slavery and had an understanding of how wrong it really was. He saw right through the propaganda and bogus news that said slavery was a good thing because he understood he was a human being being treated unfairly.

I believe he did an excellent job of depicting the reality of slavery to his audience. Through his work, he demonstrated both aspects of slavery, as well as the harsh way in which it transforms people from good to bad.

Unchained Memories is a document in which famous African-American actors read the actual words of past slaves. It is based on interviews with individuals who talk about their personal slavery experiences and was recorded in the 1930s by the Federal Writers Project.

Given that slaves did not have a voice at the time they were enslaved, this does a fantastic job of depicting the feelings that they had during enslavement. This also did an excellent job of illustrating the decline of slavery through time as their voices became more heard.

This document had a strong impact on me since it wasn't just a story told by someone; it had firsthand quotes from former slaves. This gave me a greater understanding of how horrible slaves' lives were and how unjust the treatment they received was.

Adichie discusses the significance of not categorizing someone based on societal influence in her TedTalk. She's attempting to convey the importance of learning about someone's cultural background before making assumptions about who they are.

Although she was frequently annoyed by people's misconceptions about her, she understood since she had made numerous assumptions of others herself. She recognizes that being quick to judge is human nature, but it can be very damaging when we don't know much about a person's background.

After hearing her talk, I realize how much I make personal judgments about people without knowing anything about their life. It's all too easy to form an opinion about someone based on what others have said about them, but it really is important to hear people's side of the story so you can understand where they're coming from and genuinely listen and learn about them.
