Walking into the Lincoln Memorial Hall in Washington, D.C., and seeing the statue of President Lincoln standing on a towering pedestal, people were awed by surprise. This thin face, bearded upper lip and chin, serious expression, but bright eyes, is exactly the figure admired by all Americans, even those who are familiar with American history-President Lincoln. In American history, except for the founding movement, no one is more respected by Americans than President Lincoln, including President Washington, who is known as the father of the United States. Because he ordered the liberation of slaves, so that justice and fairness in the United States can be maintained and carried forward. Because of his decisiveness, the attempt to split the country was crushed. It can be said that although the United States was founded in the 1970s in 18, the real Great Leap Forward only began after the civil war ended in 1865 and the whole country was truly unified. The territory of the United States, before the expansion of the United States again and again, was actually only 13 British colonies on the east coast of North America, which is near the Atlantic Ocean today. They were not affiliated with each other, but came together to form an anti-British alliance. Five years after the First World War, that is, 178 1 year, when Britain formally agreed to grant thirteen states in North America, the area of these thirteen states was only about 1/4 of today's American territory, even with the land east of the Mississippi River given to them by Britain. It was not until later that Napoleon was too tired to cope with the European war and had no time to take care of the American colonies that he forced France to sell Louise Anna (mainly a large area of land in the Mississippi River basin) to the United States. Since then, in the 1940s of 19, Mexico plundered a lot of land, including Texas, Kansas, California, Oregon and Washington, which are adjacent to Mexico today, and the area increased several times, leading to the territory of the United States today. However, after the founding of the United States, there has always been a very serious problem, that is, the people in the northern States of the United States are very different from the southern States in lifestyle, concept and economic model. For example, the north, especially new york, Boston and Detroit, is mainly engaged in commercial, financial and heavy industry production; In the south, agriculture and animal husbandry are the main industries, while those related to agriculture, such as flour, tobacco and ginning, are the main industries. North and South America are very different. Therefore, there are considerable differences between North and South Americans in folk customs and human nature. For example, northerners pay more attention to efficiency, openness, democracy and freedom. Southerners, on the other hand, are more conservative and prefer manor-style semi-aristocratic life. In particular, they need labor ability more in agriculture, and pay more attention to class nature and services provided by helpers and slaves in life. Therefore, they strongly advocate the maintenance of slavery. Slaves in American history mainly refer to black slaves from Africa. They originally lived in Africa, but before the United States, their parents and grandparents had been sold to the United States by the Dutch for different reasons and circumstances, and became slaves of wealthy businessmen or manor owners in former British North American colonies. Later, the descendants of these slaves continued to be slaves, and "newcomers" came one after another. This is really contradictory. The ancestors of Americans all came from Europe, mainly Britain, Ireland, Poland and Italy, to escape oppression and create a new world, but they kept black slaves and oppressed them to gain their blood and sweat. Therefore, some people in the north think that to change this unjust situation, we must liberate slaves, which conflicts with some powerful people in the southern States. After the compromise between American slave-holding States and non-slave-holding States, the United States divided some southern States into "slave-holding States" and allowed them to continue to keep slaves, so that these States could still use slave labor. The slaves of southerners are only part of the property and have no human rights at all. The northern states are "non-slave states", and slaves are liberated and become "free men". This situation lasted for nearly 80 years from the end of 18 to before the civil war. However, during this period, conflicts between North and South caused by slaves broke out one after another. For example, some southern slaves fled to the north, which always brought legal proceedings and mutual attacks. /kloc-In the mid-9th century, due to the growing differences between the two northern states in the direction and concept of economic development, some southern states gradually formed maverick groups and found that it was not good for the southern and northern states to be together. At this time, it happened to be the time of the US presidential election. Tall and thin, full of courage and perseverance, abraham lincoln ran for president. He believes that justice and fairness should be upheld, which is also in line with the founding spirit of the United States. Slavery must stop, and he promised that if he was elected, he would "liberate slaves." Lincoln announced the role of liberating slaves to the whole country. He believes that the state is to improve people's happiness, and the state is not just a tool for some politicians. As a result, he was elected and pointed out in his inaugural speech: the country is: "the people's."

By the people

Serve the people. Hu Shizhi, a famous scholar, translated it as "the state is owned by the people, the state is governed by the people, and the state is enjoyed by the people". Dr. Sun Yat-sen realistically simplified it as "for the people, by the people and for the people". It also points out that his Three People's Principles, namely nationalism, democracy and people's livelihood, are actually a country of "of the people, by the people and for the people" advocated by Lincoln. Finally, the inevitable civil war broke out. With Lincoln's swearing-in, he joined forces with The Emancipation Proclamation and the southern states to announce. It lasted four years before and after the war. As a result, the Confederate army was defeated, the United States was prevented from splitting into two countries, and slaves were liberated and became part of the American people, known as the melting pot of the nation. Due to the liberation of labor force and the mobility with economic development, the extinction of giants and the perpetuation of justice have become one of the reasons for the rapid development of American economy after the Civil War. Unfortunately, President Lincoln, who liberated slaves and made the United States truly practice the spirit of founding a country, was assassinated by an extremist while watching a famous performance in an opera house when the war was won and the whole country was jubilant. A superstar has fallen. Lincoln's death has brought infinite sadness and grief to Americans, but it also gives people a chance to reflect. Finally, they made a greater determination-justice must be upheld!
