We are a part of a country that greatly influences the world; that bears with it a responsibility to know and understand our past and how that past continues to shape our present, and our future. Over the course of this year, we will listen to voices of the past. We will examine their thoughts on what it means to be an American and think about how that definition has grown and changed over time, and how it has remained constant.

Working with Lincoln's speeches.
Abraham Lincoln is remembered as one of the United States' greatest presidents for his leadership in preserving the union and beginning the process of ending slavery in the United States. Over the course of this unit we will examine his words and ideas and explore how his arguments in regard to both developed. To begin, watch this brief biographical video of Lincoln's early life and career. Then using your annotations and text from the American Reader, follow the instructions and complete this worksheet. Please copy the worksheet and edit a new Google Doc for yourself.
