Abraham Lincoln and his most significant contribution?
What would you say is Abraham Lincoln’s most significant contribution? I’ve narrowed it down to three choices…
1) Keeping the Union together during and after the Civil War
2) Making great efforts to end slavery. (Although he didn’t)

And please don’t try to prove that he didn’t do any of these things, or why he shouldn’t be considered a great historical figure, because I think he is, and all I’m doing this for is a project 
thanks!
The Gettysburg Address. In his Gettysburg Address Lincoln redefined the American nation, arguing that it was born not in 1789 but in 1776, “conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” He declared that the sacrifices of battle had rededicated the nation to the propositions of democracy and equality, “that this nation 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.” By emphasizing the centrality of the nation, he rebuffed the claims of state sovereignty.

Selena [VHS] $5.89 Gregory Nava (Why Do Fools Fall In Love?) directs this more-or-less official film biography of the late Mexican-American singer, Selena Quintanilla Perez (the film is coproduced by her father), which emphasizes sentimentality over conflict and plays down the star’s horrific death at the hands of a deranged fan. Jennifer Lopez is quite good as Selena, whose roots we come to know through the story o… |

Young Mr Lincoln [VHS] $17.26 Even though he was the subject of some 158 films, this movie perhaps defines Lincoln on screen–despite the fact that Young Mr. Lincoln was released in what was perhaps film’s finest year, 1939.

Young Mr. Lincoln explor… |

They play a former comedy team who split up years ago over disagreements about how the act s… |
