 There once was a man 

named Abraham Lincoln. He 

grew up in Illinois. His 

family wasn't very wealthy 

in fact they were poor, but 

they got by with what they 

had.

Lincoln was interested in being 

president so he ran for the 

election and he was nominated 

and he won. They had a huge 

celebration for him.   That night 

he went to bed thinking about 

things in the world he could 

change.

Lincoln decided he could change the 

way African Americans were treated.  

So Lincoln discussed with the congress 

about the problem and half of the 

congress disagreed and moved to the 

South and the North and the South 

decided to fight to decide who wins.  

1862, the Civil War had began.

Thousands of soldiers died and it 

was only the first day of the war.  

Families were terrified that they 

wouldn't see their son, husband, or 

maybe even father.   The North 

were out numbered so they 

retrieved all of their soldiers and 

went back to where they came 

from.

Lincoln got very aggravated 

because carpetbaggers were 

steadily asking him if he 

wanted this and that and that 

and this.   So he appointed his 

security guards to dispose of 

them.

Lincoln was up all night worrying 

about his soldiers, and how they 

were getting hurt more than he had 

thought.   He was worried about 

their families and the way he would 

feel if that was one of his family 

members.

Months later the war was still 

going on and Lincoln was getting 

tired of it.   He got tired of waiting 

and waiting.   The slaves 

depended on him and he new that 

so he started to write the 

Emancipation Proclamation.

Lincoln was writing for a 

month and ten days jus so he 

could get the Emancipation 

Proclamation to sound as 

intelligent as he could get it.

Lincoln finally finished the 

emancipation proclamation and he 

presented it to the congress.  

Everyone thought the Emancipation 

Proclamation would free the slaves, 

but as no suprise it didnt.
