Abraham Lincoln was president of the United States from 1861 to 1865. He was president during the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln was born on 12th February 1809 in Kentucky. When he was a young child, his father lost everything and his mother died a few years later. Abraham didn’t go to school for long, but he loved reading and he learnt a lot from the books that he read.

As a young man, Abraham did many different jobs before he entered politics in 1846. In 1860, he won the presidential election as the Republican candidate. Lincoln was unpopular in the southern states because people didn’t agree with him about the abolition of slavery. South Carolina and six other southern states which allowed slavery left the Union to the ‘Confederacy’. The Civil War started in April 1861, one month after Lincoln officially became president. He wanted to keep the North and South together so he sent the northern states’ army to defeat the South. 600,000 people died during four years of war, but Lincoln won the war without dividing the US.

During the war, on 1st January 1863, Lincoln made the ‘Emancipation Proclamation’ to

free all slaves. The Civil War finally ended on 9 the April 1865 when the Confederacy surrendered. One week later John Booth Wilkes, who was a strong supporter of the Confederacy, shot Lincoln in a theatre in Washington DC

Lincoln gave the ‘Gettysburg Address’ on 19the November 1863. He spoke only 272 words about freedom, equality and democracy, but people think it was one of the greatest speeches ever and my favourite sentence of this speech is: "shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth" this is the final part of the gettysburd addres and is my favourite part because here there is the soul of the speech and here he says his ambitios for the people and for the fuure of U.S.A.

Like Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi fought against the exploitation of his country and Abraham Lincoln against the exploitation of slaves.
Ghandi was the leader of a non-violent movement agaist the british rules in India. He was called “Bapu” which means “father” becouse he was the father of the Indian Indipendence infact that become very popular with the indian people and inspire also other importats leaders like: Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King. He was a greate men that believes in non-violent protests that for him were the only way to make changes.
Ghandi was born in India in 1869 in a affluent family,  when he was young he studied Law in London and then he became a laywer and started to work in South Africa for 20 years. In London he started to despise the discrimination suffered by the indians so when he returned to India in 1914 he became a political activist that led the movement for  India’s indipendence from the British Empire. During this fight Ghandi went to the prison becouse he was againt the State, but he does a protest in the prison where he refused to eat so in 1924 Ghandi was freed by the British Government that was scared of the reaction of indian people if Ghandi died.
The most important, famous and successful protest was the Salt March that he does in 1930, he walk with millions of indians for 380 kilometres to the sea for take the salt couse the British put a tax on it that was very important for indians people
Finally in 1947 Britain divided India in two indipendent counties: India (when lived hindu people) and Pakistan (for muslim people); but this plan was very unpopular and hated from the population so there werea lot of  violent protests. Ghandi didn’t agree with te plan but also with the protests so he continued to bring peace but in 1948 he was assassinated by a hindu nationalist.

Gandhi and Rosa Parks wanted the freedom, and they also went to prison to try to get to equality.
Rosa Parks was an America activist in the civil movement. The United State congress has called her " the first lady of civil rights " and the mother of the freedom movement. In the past a black people don't have the same rights of white people for example they couldn't eat in the same restaurant with white Americans or had to go in the different hospital and shops. In 1955 in Montgomery Rosa Parks boarded a bus to return at home after work. The only free place was in the area for white people but she was very tired and sat down. Two white people went up and asked Rosa Parks to give her places, but she refused ... the bus drive called the police that arrested her and the Montgomery bus Boycott began.  When the segregation ended in 1956 the protest ended.

Like Nelson Mandela,Martin Luther King made many demonstrations illegally and ended up in prison.
One of the leaders of the Montgomery Bus Boycott was Martin Luther King. He became the leader of the Civil Rights Movement. Martin Luther King believed in non-violent protest and he organised many campaigns against racial discrimination. The police frequently arrested him and sent him to prison, but he continued to protest. In 1963, there was an important civil rights protest in Washington.

Bullying and cyberbullYing are also forms of discrimination that today are different but that consist in the exCluSion of the victim.
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serius lasting problems

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, Text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior

The sustantial differences are that  cyberbullying is online and we can’t find the cyberbully while in case that we have a type of bullying we can, another difference is that in bullying we have a phisical violence and in cyberbulling we have a psychological violence and this leads the victim to suicide; a fact is that a pearson post embarassing photos on the victim and you don’t know his name or you haven’t got a (normal) photo with him (in the case of cyberbullying) and a fact is that you know the person that has bullied a person and you report him and for these reasons I think that cyberbullYing is more dangereus than bullying and I think that it should be eraducated.
Real story:
This girl's name is Flavia. Flavia suffered from bullying and cyberbullying, because she was robust. Flavia suffered from bullying and cyberbullying for three years. they were dangerous and went on like this for a long time. Then they created a false profile about her where I was posting untrue things about her and Flavia I think about suicide however the father discovered everything and denote the false profile and made them change school where he found new friends and from there she was not bullied.
