I believe that Abraham Lincoln does deserve the recognition he gets today. I think he should have the recognition he gets today because,  I like the way he helped slaves become free . He also passed the thirteenth amendment that officially ended slavery.

Personally i believe he deserved it. He had a good legacy and he wouldn’t be celebrated otherwise. I think he fought hard to stop slavery and to keep the union together. He certainly was not a bad president and he deserved nothing less than what he got. Maybe he should have more.

I believe that Abraham Lincoln left a legacy behind him that deserves to be celebrated. Obviously everyone has their own opinions and the country was split back then between the North and the South. However, in my eyes he was leading the charge on the right side of the war. He made huge advances and eventually was able to get slavery abolished. The world works in strange ways and I do not know if everyone will ever really be on the same page but I think for the most part, Lincoln was pretty effective in bringing most of our country back together even if some citizens did not want this. President Abraham Lincoln changed the course of the U.S.A.

Marley   I'd have to agree with Samantha.He should be some what celebrated for attempting to end slavery but he didn't do it for the good of the people.Also I wanted to take the time to say that the heads carved on Mt.Rushmore should not be there because that is

I believe that he does deserve to be a celebrated president. I believe this because he was one of the presidents that made a huge change to the US. When he was president he helped the country stoop slavery all over the US. He also helped this country move forward in the world and advance.

Honestly I don't know much about Abraham Lincoln's policies but what I know and what everyone knows is that he was the president to free the slaves. This is one of the largest accomplishments from any president or just a human because slavery was an issue for hundreds of years that no one else could stop. I believe that Lincoln should be celebrated more. People nowadays are catching on on who we should celebrate and who we shouldn't Like nowadays people stopped celebrating people like Columbus because we are realizing he isn't the best person. From what I know about Lincoln is he tried very hard to free the slaves and managed to do it so I think we should have a holiday for him as well.

I think Lincoln deserves the praise. I feel this because he is the one who abolished slavery. He also was on the good side of the civil war and played a major part in the north winning. In a sense he tried to unit everyone in America. This kind of worked, just not for some of the stubborn south. With this being said, he still deserves to be celebrated for his great accomplishments in uniting all the people.

I believe that Abraham Lincoln deserves to be one of our most celebrated presidents, because of the change that he was able to bring. During his presidency, Lincoln was able to bring the United States back together. After the Civil War divided the country, He brought the Confederate States back, with  ease. Lincoln was also an advocate for civil rights. He played a  key role in the abolitionist movement, by signing the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.

I would say yes Abraham Lincoln deserves to be celebrated. He is one of the most beloved and recognized presidents for all of the great things to did. He lead the country through the civil war. He issued to Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves in rebellious states. He also helped pass the thirteenth amendment to end slavery.

I think that as America we celebrate Abraham Lincoln enough. He was one of the early presidents who have helped shape how America became the way it is. Lincoln did a lot during his presidency such as win the Civil War and end slavery. Thinking about it we may need to celebrate him more because he is getting lost in history. I think we should learn more about his history and how he helped America become how it is.

I somewhat believe that Abraham Lincoln should be our most celebrated president because he did attempt to end slavery and eventually succeed but didn't care much about the people that were freed and there rights after slavery. Also I believe his death seemed to be more famous then his accomplishments. For example people should give him more credit for the things he actually did for our country. like carrying American through the Civil War, preserving the union, and having the Problation. Overall I think there are many good reasons to celebrate him and there are also things he could of improved.

I think the Lincoln deserves the praise he gets currently. His work towards ending slavery during the civil war and in general his role during the civil war improved America for the better. It is important we acknowledge that. His death was also very tragic so that too needs to be honored and respected.

I think Abraham Lincoln deserves to be celebrated since he has done a lot during his presidency. I feel that he has done the most than any of our presidents so far. During his presidency, he had fought to keep the country together through the war while also making it easier for Black citizens to live in America. He had ended slavery across America and tried keeping the South under control with it. I felt like he could have done a lot more if he hadn't been assassinated. He had helped America a lot to this day. If it weren't for Lincoln, we still would have a big chance of being under slavery, if not slavery, harsher racial problems today. He has laid a path for future presidents and just from his presidency alone, we have had a big change, People have changed and saw the ways Lincoln has helped America and they know he should be celebrated for his deeds.

I believe that Lincoln deserves to be celebrated more because of what he did for the country. He ended slavery and practically kept the country together even as it was breaking apart. This is already one of the many reasons why he is so celebrated in the first place. Also the man got shot in the head point blank and lived for 9 hours which also deserves some props. Like how many people do you know that got shot in a vital component of their body and lead their country while slowly dying? He also gave the legendary speech that helped make him famous.

Do you think he deserves to be one of our most celebrated presidents?

Write a paragraph about Lincoln and what you think of his legacy.

I somewhat think that Abraham Lincoln should be our most celebrated president. He did end slavery but he wasn't as passionate about fixing the problems it caused for people when they were freed.  He has achieved great things. I do believe that he did good things and should be celebrated. Although he should also be critiqued.

Abraham Lincoln was a heroic leader during his presidency leading America through the Civil War. While he was leading America through a war he kept the economy balanced. He also signed the Emancipation Proclamation to start freeing slaves. Winning the Civil War was a major factor to Lincoln’s legacy, and by doing so he stood out and represented a true leader. Lincoln knew that freeing the slaves would effect America for the better therefore he fought his way through the South. He was assassinated on April 15, 1865 by John Wilkes Booth; he would have been a premier president if he hadn’t been assassinated.

I believe Lincoln deserves all the praise he gets and all the celebration. To start, there are storys of Lincoln as a boy being the most kind-hearted, sweet, and honest person. He was the president who worked so hard to end slavery. He kept his head help high while his country was fighting among themselves. Lincoln never tried to do something wrong to his country unlike many past presidents.

I believe he does deserve to be one of the most celebrated presidents in history. I believe this because he abolished slavery being the 13th amendment. He also fought with the Union instead of the Confederacy being a large factor in the Civil War. He had created the secret service. And was known as a kind man who helped others in need.

Lincoln deserves to be one of the most celebrated presidents.He abolished slavery, won the civil war, and ensured that the United States would stay united in the modern world.

I think that he does deserve to be one of the most celebrated presidents. On his run to presidency he made it clear that he was against slavery as it was immoral. He was going to take action against this politically which would lead to the split of the North and the South. His victory of the civil war helped abolish slavery which is one of the biggest achievements of a president.

Abraham lincoln, I think, deserves all the praise that he receives despite some of the shortcomings that he had. His administration saved the union and ended slavery. Though some may argue that he violated habeas corpus and his initial goal was not to end slavery, his perspective and actions changed based on the situation of the war.
