  1. I think that Abraham Lincoln was a very wise man. I know that if I would have been there, I would truelly believe what he was saying. I would feel all the liberty of the world coming towards me. If I were a slave, I would KNOW he was the right person for the job.

  4. If i would be there when abraham lincoln was saying this speach, i would be so like sentimental and sad abaout the war and the soldiers who died on it.. I will be heart broken for all those families who lost a brother, father, uncle etc.. It was a ver great speach for the U.S to understand what was hapoening on the civil war. I think this was a beautifil speach talking about the crisis in that time.

  7. I would feel the same feeling he felt, the feeling of freedom. If I were there, I would feel the sensation of loyalty to my nation. His words touched my heart, and those words would teach many people different lessons.

  8. Abraham Lincoln was a very determined man. He wants to make his country better, fill with liberty and consideration. He said very wise words by given respect to the soldiers who died in the bettle. He act with a respectfully consideration to everyone that fight. If I was there, hearing the speech I will think that it was perfect. It will made me think about it all the time. All the words he said, and the way he wants to take her country to a better future impacts my life.

  9. I think that many people knew that what he was saying was true , that people should not have died there it. If I was there I would probably know that this war should not have happened because I agree with he said , and i think that was the purpose of the speech Abraham Lincoln; to persuade.

  20. My opinion is that he did this in good. He saw that the nation was starting to separate. He stop slavery even thou he was a white man. The impact was serious because it was one of the purposes of the war being stop. He said that alll man are created equal and that's true.

  23. This speech shows Abraham Lincon did a very good job. I can tell he really cared and that he wanted to make a difference. He wanted everyone to be treated the same and he wanted freedom and people to be treated equally.

  24. It is important and sentimental at the same time because it`s Lincoln talking about the civil war, every person that died in it, how they want freedom and that people must be treated by equal. I think it had made a great impact to every listener in it because they get the feeling and thought Lincoln is trying to pass into everyone. I know from hearing this speech that he was a very honest, good hero in life and that he may have made a huge world change and make people think for others and treat them the same and the way they would like others to treat them.

  27. Lincoln's words were very well chosen and profound. He shows that he knows what is happening, and he will not ignore it. He says he will never forget the death of his troops, and he shows that he is a president that really cares and protects his country. That is why he is my favorite president.

    He says that people will probably forget his words, but we still remember. We, too, will never forget the brave people who battled in that war.

    Of the people, by the people, for the people FREEDOM

  28. i think that Abraham Lincoln is very wise. He is a defender of liberty, justice and the same time he thinks good for him as well as for the rest of the world. For him to write such an inspirational thing like this, he should´ve been in a lot of pain in very hard times, in a war. By this writing he shows he is brave, and he would not rest until finding justice and happiness for everyone.

  33. If a was there when Abraham Lincon said that speech i would realise what an horrible nation we have been.I would stop and think of all those family that lost their love ones because they were fitting for justice. I know that the reason they were fighting was because of the slaves but there is not need to kill. Abraham Lincon was a man that was very honest also he would stand alone before millions for a person that needed help. I admired him.
