Juan Diaz __ Abraham Lincoln __

Abraham Lincoln Biography he was the 16th president of the United States of America. He fought the South in Civil War to free slaves. He died because he got shot in the back of his head. Because John Wilkes Booth an actor was mad that the South lost the war. He died on April 14, 1865.

One conflict of his life was poverty he was very poor his house was a cabin his family made. The cabin was somewhere in Kentucky. He was so poor he couldn’t go to school to become a lawyer like he wanted but instead all he did was read and his favorite hobby was rail splitting.

He influence the African Americans by letting the slaves free in Civil War the only slaves free was the North he tried his hardest to let South free but he did anyway by fighting in Civil War where all the slaves went free but there were still poor.

A memorable part of Abraham Lincoln life was when he changed America for freeing the slaves and also the first president for not going to school and is so well succeed by reading all his life and he became one of the best 16th president of the United States of America.

One conclusion that I have learned was he was the first president to free slaves and start Civil War. And he was also the first president that knew how to rail split

This movie is called Amistad. The director of this movie is Steven Spielberg and the screenwriter is David Franzoni. The setting is 1839 and the place is on the Atlantic Ocean, America and Spain. This movie is also in the Supreme Court and a bunch of other places.

One important characters in this movie are Cinque, who is anAfrican that was in court for killing the Spanish men in the ship. Another character is John Quincy Adams he was the 6th president by that time. And the last character in the movie is Queen Isabella II she was the Queen of Spain.

The conflict of this movie was the Africans on the ship called Amistad. they wanted to revolt because the people from Spain kidnapped them to sale the Africans. To make money by making the Africans slaves. And make them work without even paying them.

The resolution in this movie is when the supreme court let the Mende African slaves free because there not born in America. Illegal to take the Mende Africans because they weren’t born in America there the only slave free because they fought to the end to become free because they wanted the right to go back to Africa.

The resolution in this movie is at the end is when the supreme court free the mende African of slavery. Cinque sailed back to Africa and his family was disappeared they weren’t there because maybe more people from Spain took them before the Supreme Court let them free they must have took them and sale them for slavery and made money.

The most memorable scene in this movie is when they let Cinque and his African people free from slavery because they had the right to be free because there weren’t born here in America there born in Africa and that became illegal at that time and it is of course still illegal to do that anybody do that today will be arrested right away. .

JOHN BROWN

John Brown was a religious man. He had a lot of kids and he believed by killing white men he was an abolitimonist that wanted slaves free. He got guns from the army base and stoled 200 rifles and 1000 pikes for all his army men he gathered together the people who also wanted slaves to be free.

John brown killed white men. I agreed what he did because that was the only way to free the slaves because people who wanted to have slave didn’t want to them up. But the people that didn’t want slaves wanted war to free the slaves that was because it was back in the day if it was now they would have been arrested.
