Do you think electing Abraham Lincoln president was a good thing for the country or a bad thing for this country? Think about what happened as a result of his election and also how he is thought of today. Give me a couple of sentences.
I think Abraham Lincoln wasn't honest. His name should not have been honest abe. Almost every president back in his time had slaves. He did not wanna get rid of slavery he wanted to keep it in the south.No one knows the exact words Lincoln said out his mouth. They don't know if Lincoln owned slaves or not! NO I THINK HE WASN'T A GOOD PRESIDENT AND HE DIDNT DESERVE TO BE ONE!
I think electing Abraham Lincoln was a good thing for the country because he believed slavery was wrong but the south didn't think it wasn't so he had promblems. but he is thought to day as a famous prisedent
I think he was a bad thing for the country, because he was the reason the civil war started, if he left the southerners alone the would've stayed in the union instead of them making up the confederacy.
I would say a good thing because when he wasn't elected the first time he just said o no I lost what can I do about that so than he thought and said oh ya I know I'll just run again for president next year.So even though he wasn't elected as president the first time he got up and fought until he was PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!L
Abraham Lincoln is a strong leader in some ways. But also in some ways a weak one.If he really wanted to stop slavery he should have thought out better.He barely did anything because he messed it up and even though he caught himself that is wrong.
He was a bad president because he kept slavery, because if he said no slavery no one will vote for him and vote for the other guy so he kept slavery in the country.
Yes it was good because then we would never have gotten rid of slavery. The war would have never started so how would we get rid of slavery? The war was bad but I think it was worth it.
Well.. Like all people he wasn't all good but he wasn't all bad. I guess he was good in the fact he got rid of slavery. I honestly believe that he should have left the Confederacy alone. But thats just me. So I guess he was O.K.....
I think Lincoln was a good president choice because he did not want to end slavery right away but he wanted to stop it from spreading. He also didn't want to start a war. He believed the nation was a union. Johnnie R.
yes and no yes because he is known as a good man now and no because he wanted to keep slavery just in the south but i think it should of been demolished
He is the main cause of the Civil War, if he didn't become president then we most likely wouldn't have the Civil War to worry about. However I do give credit to him for decreasing the amount of slaves in some states.
yes because he didnt want slavery so if he get elected it will help stop slavery so today use colored people should be happy if it want for him we will still be slaves.
It was a good idea to have President Linclon elected for our country. Agood reason is he abolished slavery in the United States. Another good reason was he was a strong leader. The bad side to him being president was he left slavery in the south.The final reason was he made this country a better place to live.
It was a bad choice people, why do you not agree? You are all saying this probroably because he WAS the president...You need to think harder. Think about it, without him as presidnet we would have had a lot more people alive back then. Instead America HAS to choose Abe.
i also think that he is a good leader because even though he was at the end and the weakest he faught his way up to the top and mad it and now on we remember him as the 16th president of the united states!!!!!!
i think that lincoln was a bad person because he said at first that he would keep slavery but he didn't, it's not that he kept slavery it's the fact that he lied.
Yes because he didnt want slavery to expand any farther than it was. Lincoln was also a good choice beacause think who would have stopped it from expanding. It may have been here still today and no one would know how to stop it. We would still have people fighting to stop slavery and people bringing african americans to the slave states. Eran said it was not a good idea. Andrew what do you mean by we would had more people alive back then? Yes he was a good part of the civil war but he didnt want to totally end slavery he wanted to stop it from spreading all over the U.S. Think slavery would still most likely be here if it wasnt for him.
i think that lincon made the north and south happy. he made the south happy becausehe let slavery only in the south and the north was ha ppy that he didnt let the slavery in the north. but some people might think that he was bad because he let slavery be here at all.
Abe Lincoln was perhaps an unlikely canidate for the presidency; but his honesty,intergity, deep concern for his fellow man, and fierce commitment to his country won his country the confidence of the american people. Although he cared little for simple facts,rule and methods,it was on the underlying priniple of truth and jusice that lincoln will was firm as steel and tenacious as iron.... When justice,right,liberty,the goverment, the constituton,the union,humanity were invled,then you may all stand aside. No man can move him.No set men can.
yes i think electing lincoln was good for us.because what he did for us was that he kept slavery from getting any stronger. because the slavery would have gottin storger.He also helped with the slavery movement.thanks lincoln for starting to end slavery.NOW WE HAVE OBAMA
I would say yes because he sign the bill that free the slaves. he also delivered the gettysburg address. the last thing i said yes is that the bill he wrote was the emancipation proclimation.
Abraham Lincoln, no he didn't want to end slavery,he really didn't care about it. He wanted to make people think that he was the good guy in every situation. I don't think he was a good president. AT ALL!!!
no because he did not think about the trouble that he was going to cause by war he is going to kill a lot of families, but also yes because we should not have slavery because it's a cruel and a kindness thing to take the weak and force them to be slaves.
Abraham Lincoln, no he didn't want to end slavery,he really didn't care about it. He wanted to make people think that he was the good guy in every situation. I don't think he was a good president. AT ALL!!!
I think Lincoln talked about the "Gettysburg Address" in a well organized and elegant manner. He explained the whole problem with the Civil War, and he made a plan to help stop it.
I think he was a good president cause he didn't like slavery.He could stop it cause he was president,all he wanted to was help us!!
ReplyDeleteIt was good because he didnt want slavery to grow
ReplyDeleteI think Abraham Lincoln wasn't honest. His name should not have been honest abe. Almost every president back in his time had slaves. He did not wanna get rid of slavery he wanted to keep it in the south.No one knows the exact words Lincoln said out his mouth. They don't know if Lincoln owned slaves or not!

ReplyDeleteI think that electing him was good because he did help us end slavery,but he did seperate the country so that was bad :(
ReplyDeleteit was good because even though he did not get rid of slavery right away he still accomplished the task
ReplyDeleteI think he was a bad thing for the country, because he was the reason the civil war started, if he left the southerners alone the would've stayed in the union instead of them making up the confederacy.
ReplyDeleteyes because he didnt think slavery was right and the he was a storg leader.
ReplyDeletebut then i also think no because if you go back to the begining he was i a weak leader and some times we want strong leader from the begining.
ReplyDeleteI think he was a very strong leader and was good for our society.
ReplyDeletehe was the best pres. because, he didnt like slavery he wanted to stop it he thought it was wrong and crule!
ReplyDeletebut thats just my thought
I think that it was good because he didn't want slavery. I think
ReplyDeletethat made him a strong leader & a strong president.
I would say a good thing because when he wasn't elected the first time he just said o no I lost what can I do about that so than he thought and said oh ya I know I'll just run again for president next year.So even though he wasn't elected as president the first time he got up and fought until he was PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!L
ReplyDelete: )
i agree with eden on this one
ReplyDeletei agree whit kalay but what if some one else was elected and did thesame thing
ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln is a strong leader in some ways. But also in some ways a weak one.If he really wanted to stop slavery he should have thought out better.He barely did anything because he messed it up and even though he caught himself that is wrong.
ReplyDeleteHe was a bad president because he kept slavery, because if he said no slavery no one will vote for him and vote for the other guy so he kept slavery in the country.
ReplyDeletei think he was a good president because he stoped slavery>
ReplyDeletei think he was a strong leader.
i think good because he opposed slavery so they would probably have to stop it
ReplyDeleteYes because he wanted to ablosh slavery and no because it did start a war.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a great idea. He was strong leader for our country. I am glad he opposed slavery.
ReplyDeleteif he was still alive now and people could be presidents for life i'd be the happiest person alive. = )
ReplyDeletebut he's not so thats too bad. live with it!
ReplyDeleteHe was good in some ways but in other ways he wasn't.
ReplyDeleteLike in a good way he helped the society and helped other people but not all the time
In bad ways he kept slavery and only help certain people and treated others wrong.
So my opinion is he was a good president but then again he wasn't some things he did was wrong and some things he did was right.
Yes it was good because then we would never have gotten rid of slavery. The war would have never started so how would we get rid of slavery? The war was bad but I think it was worth it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Adarrah.
ReplyDeleteI say yes because he was a strong leader towards the end and he came out the shadows(he was a weak leader then, was a strong leader).
ReplyDeleteit was a good dec. he freed all the slaves. he did a good thing .GNAR
ReplyDeleteWell.. Like all people he wasn't all good but he wasn't all bad. I guess he was good in the fact he got rid of slavery. I honestly believe that he should have left the Confederacy alone. But thats just me.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess he was O.K.....
(No more hard questions Mr.Christie. PLZ?)
I think it was an excellent choice for our country. Who Knows. Maybe we would still have slavery if he wasn't elected.
ReplyDeleteI think Lincoln was a good president choice because he did not want to
ReplyDeleteend slavery right away but he wanted to stop it from spreading. He also
didn't want to start a war. He believed the nation was a union.
