ned the Emancipation Proclamation. He sustained that he would like everyone including the Blacks not only to be freed but also to be as equal as White people. Lincoln believed that all men were created equal and entitled to liberty and the pursuit of happiness (59). This meant that although Lincoln was raised to believe that black people were not as equal as he was, he grew up in believing what he thought was right and not what everybody else thought. Lincoln mentions that in this country one can scarcely be so poor, but that if he will, ha can acquire sufficient education to get through the world respectably (p.59). Another words, no matter the race or the color, if you are determined, you will reach whatever goal you might have. Lincoln was talking about the black people that were underestimated. Having such strong beliefs, as I read on, I would consider him not much more than a saint and certainly not a sinner. Lincoln was just a human being that felt that everyone should be treated as you would want to be treated Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves. He wanted to comfort the people that were unhappy. He also thought of the suffering that the black people were going through. In conclusion, we may never know what Abraham Lincolns real determination was at the time of his presidency. We can only rely on myths and stories that are available to us. Even though through his beliefs in Moral decisions, his expressions, and his progression, these actions and so called myths, were proven to us through the Emancipation Proclamation Act. Usually when consistent myths are around for decades, it usually turns out to be somewhat true. As I mentioned previously, He was not much more than a saint and not a sinner that the myths suggested but he was just standing by in what he thought was right....
