History Has Been Defined, Long Before The Historical Knowledge
Webster’s Dictionary defines history as “a branch of knowledge that records and explains past events” (Webster 2001). One important reason is to gain knowledge of history. You should see all the historical facts and events of recorded history, to acquire what may be written as “knowledge of history.” It’s not just head knowledge and memorizing, but understanding of the facts, deaths, purchases, wars, colleagues, and above all an understanding of “character” of the people behind this great event.
Whether it’s reading about Lincoln, sixteenth President of our United States, which puts the president and abolished slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation and the Louisiana Purchase, the United States a large area of ??land acquired for the price of the modem day away. Great Depression of the 1920s many people are affected mentally and physically – to make 10 years of hard for all our citizens. These and many other historical events examined for their knowledge – and knowledge is power history.
In 1860, political conflict, slavery, and Abraham Lincoln were elected President of the United States. Lincoln and the Republican Party advocated the total abolition of slavery in the United States. “A house divided against it cannot stand,” Lincoln said. Moreover, “this government cannot endure permanently half slave and free … I do not expect the house to fall … It is one thing or another” (the young republic 25). In 1863, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in the Confederacy free – through the authority as president and commander. History has accelerated the size of the United States as our third president, Thomas Jefferson, made a deal with Louisiana Territory from France for the purchase of 15 million U.S. dollars. This large-scale purchase nearly doubled the size of our nation and we have some of the most fertile soil and good in the world.
Many other Latin American countries obtained only with blood, sacrifice, and war. They will get the victory when they fighting for their country. Today we read in our text about the blood, sweat and tears of our military leaders are committed to these victories to win. We are indebted to our government and military leaders. Although it might not be enough to offer, our war heroes really freedom fighters, that the freedom we now so easily captured. Jefferson’s “Rough Riders” should be commended for such efforts to preserve and defend our freedom. The U.S. economy took a big fall down during the Great Depression. Stock market crash of 1929 residents to leave the queue for bread and looking for work like never before in our history. Historical records show that investors lost everything.
Thousands of banks, businesses, and schools closed. A ton of loans can be repaid because of low crop prices. Many, many Americans are busy workers suddenly without jobs. Our economy has always affected our society. Study of our economy is critical to understanding our history. When we study history, learn a lot about our country and ourselves. Abraham Lincoln comes to mind as a mirror for us, because he stays as president, while others may have stopped. Abraham Lincoln showed the American people young and old how to have faith when life’s challenges.
Lincoln is an example of “balance” in your life, shot by John Wilkes Booth, the theater, of all places. He was not very intelligent or strong-mind to stop enjoying life. It takes time for things that are important, and that leaves a strong legacy for all Americans. Finally, one must look at all the historical facts and events of recorded history, to acquire what may be written as “knowledge of history.” It’s not just head knowledge and memorizing, but understanding of the facts, deaths, purchases, wars, colleagues, and above all an understanding of “character” of the people behind this great event. Many Americans are dedicated to studying the books, newspapers, and magazines from the past. For this courageous that we respect us because they represent the past, but more importantly, they are the picture of our hopes for the future.
Abraham Lincoln led our country from slavery, and in doing so, he opened his social, political, and economic opportunities for everyone and it really brings us back to the Declaration of Independence. Past events have their way to class with the promise of nearly a century old, loyalty. Our promise is a constant reminder of victories won by our great leaders in the past: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States, and the republic stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” United States of America is a free country today because of the sacrifice and we owe a big thanks to our ancestors who fought for this country a republic, a free country, a country where everything is possible with the right amount of hard work and solid spiritual foundation.
