Funeral Oration: A Powerful Speech

This was just one of his strategies to bring America back together, and showed even more of his strong leadership skills. "One of the little known leadership styles that Lincoln used to his advantage...was his appointment of talented national figures from opposing parties to be part of his cabinet," (Stone 4). He had members from the loyal opposition inform him of the issues on each side. This strategie is what made him one of the best presidents, as he was mature, and did not let his personal views make him one-sided. Without a doubt, Abraham Lincolns best known contribution was the erosion of slavery.

Abraham Lincoln Quote “Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.” This quote was stated by Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was born in 1809 and died in 1865. He was the sixteenth president of the United States, conserved the Union throughout the Civil War and created the freedom for the slaves.

Another factor that shows the difference between Athens and Han China are their types of government. Document 4 is a quote from Pericles, an Athenian leader. Pericles stated, “Our form of government is called a democracy because its administration is in the hands, not of a few, but of the whole peoples” (Doc 4). This quote here shows the main difference between Han China and Classical Athens. IN Athens, which upholds direct democracy, all free male citizens are entitled to vote, while in China, only the emperor and his advisors can.

Discovery of such history had a profound impact on Equality such as when he read the word “I”. It is through man’s writing in which Equality came to understand “the blessed thing which (he) had called (his) curse” (98). This writing had such a positive impact on Equality that he decided to “write the first chapter of new history of man” so that it would be eternal (101). It is through his writing, that Prometheus will be remembered not as a number, but as a hero who vanquishes collectivism. His eternal message cautions the reader of the dangers of an irrational society so that someday man will think twice before chaining himself to the word

Initially, King and Kennedy had similar views on freedom. For instance, both men believed that change and rights would come only if there is faith in God and in themselves. King stated in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail” that he wants “the radiant stars of love and brotherhood [to] shine” over all (teachingamericanhistory). In Kennedy’s inaugural address he said, “the belief that the rights of a man come not from

Presidents are elected to preform and achieve greatness in America; they serve as the commander and chief of armed forces, and they find ways in coming up with agreements regarding trade and aid along with many other things. Being the president is obviously not an easy task. Have you ever thought about who you thought the best presient of the United States of America was? According to a debate in Taking Sides written by Larry Madaras and James SoRelle they presented an argument between Phillip Shaw Paludan and Melvin E. Bradford debating if Abraham Lincoln was America’s Greatest President. Many people agreed and disagreed whether or not President Lincoln was the greatest; however the sides of two professors were part in the Taking Sides issue of yes or no.

Athenians participated in the public life and the process of decision making for the community, by the means of direct democracy; Thetes - all free male members who were also a citizen of Athens – had the right to partake in debates and passing laws in Ekklesia or “People’s Assembly”. According to Peter J. Brand (n.d), Athenians who had the right to practice in this governmental system did so in a Legislative counsel known as the Boule council (p. 19). On the other hand, Spartan were warriors and Sparta was a militarized society.

The government of the United Kingdom operates within the framework of a constitutional monarchy, in which the Monarch is the head of state, but it is also a unitary democracy where the prime minister is the head of government. Sir Robert Walpole WAS the first prime minister of the nation and is generally considered to be one of the greatest politicians in British history. While Prime Minister William Pitt was the first to publicly oppose the Slave Trade, another great political leader Charles Grey abolished slavery throughout the British Empire. However Grey was against women’s suffrage which ironically fuelled the movement further. Winston Churchill who served as prime minister three different times in his career is held in history as one

Among the Ancient Greece polices there are two which mostly deserve the research of their history, namely Athens and Sparta. These city-states applies different approaches to the political organization, social structure and adoption of different cultural priorities. The abovementioned differences presuppose the unequal influence of these states on the development of ancient Greece and modern world in general. Within the sphere of political organization, the Athens are regarded to be the homeland of democracy, while Spartan society demonstrates the features of oligarchy.

However, Cliesthenes, the ruler during this time, was not the sole participant in the slow establishment of democracy in Athens. His predecessors, Solon and Pisistratus, laid very important groundwork; for instance, outlawing debt slavery and attempted to equate the power between the rich and the poor, respectively. Solon especially was praised by “fourth-century Greeks who regarded [him] as the father of Athenian democracy” (Ehrenberg, 67). Despite this, Cliesthenes is deemed to be the one to lay the last major foundation that lead the way for Athenian democracy; announcing every free man in Athens to be a citizen. This sudden acceptance into citizenship allows the entrance of all free men to participate openly in the newfound democratic government of Athens.

The Constitutional Convention was one of the most momentous occurrences in United States Constitutional history. The point of the constitutional convention is decide how America is going to be governed. The guys that contributed to it are James Madison and Alexander Hamilton. The people that were at high rank at the time. The one problem was that only one of the high rank people can attend, Which means that the low and middle class were not represented.

“A free man be not in any case to surrender as a slave? And might it not be well at the same time to provide by law for the enforcement of that clause in the Constitution which guarantees that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States?” Sumter surrendered using a white flag and Anderson ended up getting transportation in the U.S. “The

Why did the founding fathers decide to establish a democratic republic? Did they have anything to benefit from said democracy, or were they actually morally compelled to create a more perfect union to serve and protect all of the citizens of the united states? Although many of the founding fathers have left diaries, articles, and speeches behind for us to dissect and analyze, I believe that there is no better way to learn about a man 's character other than by observing his behavior first hand, and personally questioning him. That is why instead of going to see the Salem witch trials, being at Lincoln 's Gettysburg Address, or even watching the battle Saratoga, I would rather sit in and experience the four long months of debate and argument

When arguing for racial equality, James Farmer Jr. quotes St.Augustine, “An unjust law is no law at all.” He claims that just laws are meant to protect all citizens; whereas, unjust laws that discriminate Negroes are not laws to be followed, thus raising awareness of racial discrimination by using emotional and logical appeals. In The Great Debaters, Henry Lowe appeals to the audience’s emotions during a debate about Negro integration into state universities. To challenge his opponent’s claim that the South isn 't ready to integrate Negroes into universities, he affirms that if change wasn’t forcefully brought upon the South, Negroes would “still be in chains,” which is an allusion to slavery. With this point, he is able to raise awareness of
