Abraham Lincoln is an honest, straight boy too, as well as being clever. Only the other day I found someone had broken off a buck’s horn which I had nailed to the schoolhouse, and when I asked who had done it, Abraham Lincoln immediately owned up and confessed that he had been hanging on to it.” And He sure was.. and did a great job as President For USA, with many good things including the <a href="http://www.14thamendmentsummary.com/">14th Amendment</a> and much more... Abraham Lincoln Said on: January 27, 1838 At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth in their military chests; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in the trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
