4. President Lincoln was talking about the civil war, and how the Slaves had no freedom or rights. This compares to how my parents always try to control what I do. Like I have no rights or that they have taken a civil liberty away from me as the south did with the slaves. This doesn't compare to the same degrees, because I still get liberties unlike the slaves who had none. It also compares because my sisters gave me respect just like how the north did with the slaves. One difference is that my sisters and my parents did not go to war over it like in the civil war.

4. The civil war is referred in this paragraph. This was a hard time for everyone even the people who lived near because they had to support people who were wounded and hungry. There the ones who struggled trying to get food anyways. I had a great struggle, well I have two. One was last year in 7th grade when my grades drastically went down and I knew why, it was because my missing work had stacked up to the sealing. Eventually I had some of the work done. The second great struggle I had was moving from school to school and that was both hard on me and my brother but we pulled through because we stuck together.

4. The "Great Struggle" that Abe Lincoln was talking about was the Civil War. The country was fighting among themselves and the government looked like it was going to collapse, so Abe Lincoln was giving a speech about what was happening. I can relate this to my life because in the past few years, I have lost about 10 or more close relatives to cancer, and it causes distress in my family. We are still dealing with deaths today, but it made me feel like my world was collapsing, especially when my grandpa and my cousin passed away.

Maybe president Lincoln was in a hard time, but he had to get through either way, and he did his best to to that. I have had many great struggles. Working on my grades and trying to make them the best that they can be, I do the best that I can. When I took a look at my teacher ease one night I saw that I had a B in one class. I told myself that I knew that I could do much better. I pushed myself until the last minute of the marking period. I got that grade up to a A-. I was very proud of myself because the grade went up.

I've played hockey for years now, and I'm on a travel team now. But last year, we were playing in a playoff game and we were down by 3 goals, it was 7-4. I had got a elbowing penalty. I hopped out of the box, got a break away and scored. People were happy but no one thought we were going to win, there wasn't enough time left. All the sudden, I got another break away goal and people were gaining hope. No one thought we could actually do it. With 15 seconds left, I got another break away, I saw an open corner, and scored. I had tied the game and because of that we got to play the next playoff game at Joe Louis Arena. Everyone was congratulating me but I was very humble I was told, I just said thank you and went on.

4. President Lincoln is referring to how people weren't agreeing and getting along. Comparing this to my life, which has endured many great struggles, I would compare this to when my group of friends basically split up. We weren't getting along at all because of something really dumb. I just wished it would go back to how it used to be when we were all best friends. We were avoiding the situation and just not talking to each other and eventually we had to make an effort to change what had happened. When we actually did something about what happened we became friends again.

My great struggle was trusting my friend with my neckless that my gramma gave me. I had to give it to her to hold on because I was moving and I didn't want to lose it in the move. I gave it to her and when I was done moving she had to give it back. When I went over there she lost it at here mom's house. Then two weeks later she gave it back.

She ran in screaming and I have a little brother and sister in the car, I was 10 how was i supposed to settle down a 5 year old girl from screaming and my little brother. I tried to carry in him with his car seat. I was scared to because my mom was saying I'll be right back and I know we mean the world to my mom so It was hard. These ladys walk out and I don't know what to think they take us in. We were standing with all of these strangers and finally when my grandparents came and picked us up it was so much better. It was hard to be humble like Abraham Lincoln at that time for him.

4.) Lincoln means that fighting to be independent was a great struggle, and it was the biggest struggle. I have had a great deal of struggles in my short life. I think the biggest struggle was trying to be perfect like everybody around me, and I couldn't figure out how they became perfect. I thought I was to short, fat, and all the other things in-between. After a couple of years I realized that no one is perfect and I cannot be perfect. Every person in this entire world is fine just the way they are.

I have a going on struggle right now. I'm having to to a lot of work in school but i keep putting it off and now the due dates are approaching and I need to start them.

4. President Lincoln was referring to the struggle of slavery.
A struggle in my life was when my house caught on fire. My brother woke me up because he smelt something weird. So I got up and walked down the hall towards the smell which was in my brothers room. I opened the door and flames burst out at me so I shut the door and me and my brother ran out of the house to my neighbors house and called 911. A few minutes later the fire department was at our house and fighting the fire. That was a struggle because we had no where to live for about 2 weeks.

4.He is most likely referring to slavery. I have never really had anything in my life that really relates to slavery. and I think that he is saying that god is saying to him to stop slavery. and he wants to stop it too. so he is going to make a goal to stop it. and I make goals in my life to do things that I need to do and everyone struggles with completing their goals. So I can kind of relate to having a goal set for you by someone else to do thats important.

3. Perpetuated means to match what Lincoln said and go even better. That he believes that the Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people will go exactly as planned and better with everything that we fought for. The real definition is make (something, typically an undesirable situation or an unfounded belief) continue indefinitely.
4. He means "great struggle" as in the struggle to be a slave/servant to God and that will be certainly very hard. He is also talking about the struggle it was to make this country a country. It took a LOT of blood, sweat, and tears but it came out to be a great country. Lincoln does not want all there hard work and all the terrible things that happened to go away because the country just didn't work. This relates to my struggle of when my dog got hit by a car. It was very sad and we all were devastated because we thought she might not live. It was very hard for us, but my dad realized how sad we were and he saved her by paying $2,000 to just amputate her leg instead of putting her down. But it was a very big struggle trying to not be sad every second of the day. And my dad would have been angry and my sister and I would have been very sad if my dog, Noelle, died after we payed so much, we saved her life, and my sister and I grew up with her. So that is what Abe Lincoln is trying to say that it was a big struggle to get this far and now our country better not just collapse.

4. The "Great Struggle" Abraham Lincoln is referring to is The Civil War. The Civil War happened when many U.S southern states wanted to break away from the rest of the U.S. A "great struggle" that I have had was when I was home alone watching my three little brothers. All of them fight with each other all the time so it was not a big surprise that they started fighting with each other when it was time for them to go to bed. The oldest out of all of them is Liam, who is autistic was threatening Joe with his hockey stick, during this time I was putting our dog outside because she was barking. When I came back in Liam had hit Joe on the head with the hockey stick and he was bleeding all over the floor. These to struggles are alike because they both involve fighting between people who should be close with each other and not fight.

4. President Lincoln is referring to slavery. He didn't want slavery to continue. He didn't think it was right. So he did his best to put an end to it. At first he didn't get that, but he persevered because freeing the slaves was that important to him. He kept on trying and he wasn't going to give up. When he did finally free the slaves, he was very humble about it. I can relate to this because of the things I do. Balancing school, sports, homework, and trying to fit in time for my friends is a challenge. It's hard for me to put the things I have to do before the things I want to do. Hopefully, I can become more balanced between school, sports and my friends so I have time for all of them.

4. The great struggle that President Lincoln is referring to is that we as the united nation of america should understand the pain and fear that our nation is going through at this moment.Not only at this particular moment the past and the future all counts because the past will never come back as a flashback to us.In my life what I have gone through is very painful.When I was a young child i've been kidnapped in Malaysia.At that moment I was playing in the playground alone because all of my friends went to buy a drink of water because the weather was hot and sunny so we was dehydrated but lucky for me I brought a bottle of water with me.Suddenly it was dark outside so I started walking to my house .Suddenly I saw this old man calling me so I just ignored me and I went through the back door of my house it was the shortcut .Suddenly this man came and grab my hand and I punched him in the stomach and the guy woke up and he carried me and loaded me into his truck and I jotted down his plate number.While he was driving I managed to open the door of the truck and I jumped out of the truck while it was moving.I had serious injuries and the guy escaped .Suddenly my mom was driving to work and she saw me and she took me to the hospital and she asked me what had actually occurred at that particular incident.I told her to go to the police station and to make an complain about the truck's plate number.After three days the police found the guy at Thailand and he was sentenced to jail for 20 years and i was the victim in this case.

4. President Lincoln is referring to the struggle for equal rights and independence. When America was tied to Great Britain, they were not with equal rights and had to obey the king. They struggled to gain the rights that they believed they deserved to have. In the end, they gained those rights, and President Lincoln is hoping that the people of America preserve the rights that they fought for. My great struggle was when my parents and I had a rather large disagreement over the summer. I, at the time, was using the home computer to write with my friend, for hours at a time. My parents believed that I was misusing and overusing the computer. I didn't think so. We argued about it for days and days, resulting in high tempers and lots of yelling. In the end they cut me a little slack, and I kept writing to and with my friend until I got my laptop when the school year started up again. Overall, the conflict is resolved, but at times there are small flare-ups of that same conflict. I hope that we will stick to our agreements that we made in order to preserve the peace in my family.

Also the past fights and Wars we all can remember those it hurts us because we had family members and ancestors that fought in those wars that are now gone! A Great Struggle I have is having time for friends, sports, time for myself, and remembering to do my homework. Those things are all hard for me to do and fit in and have time for all of those. Sometimes I get to tired and I won't concentrate on my homework that I have to do and turn in the next day. To be able to hangout with my friends and do sports, I have to do my homework to keep my grades up, or I won't hangout with my friends, or go to sports because I have to do a lot of sports. I always try to keep my grades up even if I don't have plans or sports so I can get into a great college.

3. My thoughts on the word perpetuated could be referred to as destroyed or taken down, like how president Lincoln stated that "for perpetuating the object of that great struggle". The dictionary refers to it as to keep alive.
4. President Abraham Lincoln stated in this quote the problem of us keeping the original cause alive in America. We originally made this country in order to gain freedom, liberty and the rights we have today. After we won those rights, we have struggled to preserve them into a free government. I feel that we still have trouble in perpetuating our rights, for it would just not be right to lose the very things we founded this country on. I can't really single out one thing out there but I feel that life itself is a little troublesome. My life has had many problems Including, getting lost in woodlands (more then once). I just hope that I can tough it out and do whatever God has Intended me to do. America also has ups and downs in similar ways as to the many lives that founded it.

She is the oldest of course she is going to be the most responsible. I am not as responsible, I have a little more fun then her. It is not good but sometimes I push my parents buttons. They did not trust my with things because of that. As I got older though I became more responsible and my parents trust me with more stuff, I'm still not like my sister but I fell like my parents trust my know.

4. President Lincoln was probably referring to slavery because back then It was a gigantic problem back in the 1800's. He wants to end slavery because he thought it was wrong to discriminate other human beings. He preserved the slaves owners to let the slaves go, but that didn't go well at all. The humble slaves never really got the chance to protest against this, but president Lincoln never gave up and he finally let the slaves go free. He finally got the slaves free so they could be free run away try to reunite with their kids and grandparents.

4. The " great struggle" Abraham Lincoln was referring to was the American Revolution. The patriots had to fight hard and summon a lot of courage in order to stand up against the British. A great struggle I remember from my life was when I was in 6th grade. My grades were dropping really low, and most of my homework wasn't getting done. After a few weeks of my poor performance my parents met with my teacher to think of ways I could improve. My mom and I went through all of my notebooks and binders and organized them, then she set up a homework schedule so I would have plenty of time to finish my assignments. After a few weeks my grades were improving drastically. It was hard, but I managed to pull off all A's and a B that marking period.

4. The great struggle Lincoln is talking about is the Civil War. The U.S. is fighting themselves because of slavery. The North didn't want slavery and the South did. Because of this, one of America's bloodiest wars was fought. We had turned on our own country and we knew it, we were just standing for what we know and believe is right. A great struggle I have had in my life is when my XBOX 360 didn't work. My dad accidentally kicked it as I was playing it and it broke the disc drive. I didn't have it for 3 weeks and I couldn't stand it. It was the worst thing ever.

4. The "great Struggle" Abraham Lincoln was talking about was, slavery. A great struggle I had was when I played a baseball tournament in South Gate. We had made it to the championship game but the team we were going to be versing had played an extra game in their bracket. Since they had an extra game we had to play them twice. The first game was to decide if we were going to the championship game, if we lost they would have won the tournament. We ended winning that game and had to play them again after a thirty minute break. The second game was a close game when they brought in there best pitcher, he wasn't anything special that we haven't faced before so we put the bat on the ball and scored some runs. After beating them twice it was a great victory since the odds were stacked against us highly and they had a "ringer" team, where they took the best players form all around and not just where there located at.
"I am exceedingly anxious that this Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people shall be perpetuated in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made, and I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this, his almost chosen people, for perpetuating the object of that great struggle." Abraham Lincoln 1861

4. President Lincoln is talking about the great struggle of the civil war and also slavery. Lincoln dose not approve of this slavery that has been going on and he wants tot put an end to it. One struggle that me and my family have been having has been a shortage on money. We have moved three times in the past two years. It is a big struggle because without money its sort of hard to survive. Just think about it going into a school year knowing your moms laid off from her job. True story but luckily the p.c.s found a spot for her and she has a job but it is still a hard struggle having my dad work two jobs. Its not cool not being able to see your dad for 1 week increments, but i have to be happy to have a home and being able to eat every night.

4. Abraham Lincoln was probably referring to either slavery or the revolutionary war. Both of them were a great struggle for America. Both issues had made the country lose many people. A great struggle I have had was when many people in my family got very sick. Then my grandpa died in the middle of the night. Many people died during the slavery times and the revolutionary war was going on. The people that died were someones family and I lost many people that I love in my family at one time. Just like the many people that lost brothers, fathers, uncles, grandfathers, and husbands, and I lost many people that are close to me. It was very hard for me to understand what had happened, because I was very young when this happened. I struggled very much when I was hearing about the people that I love and that they are not here anymore.

My struggle is school because when I was in though's grades School was like "UGG" for me and now it is like ok its time to go to school and it is getting better because school is becoming more fun for me and I am enjoying it a lot more than I was in the other grades.

4. President Lincoln is referring to the American Revolution. The soldiers had to fight very hard for a long time. They fought to give freedom to their country, if it wasn't freedom they were fighting for then it was something to try and positively affect their country. A great struggle in my life was when my neighbor Joe died. He was not just my neighbor but he was also my godfather. It was a struggle for me because it was hard to get over. He had been sort of like a best friend to me ever since I was born. When I came down the stairs only to hear that he had passed away, I couldn't believe it. But as I get into thinking about it, maybe it was his time to go because he was in a lot of pain, so it ended his suffering. Everyone has a time to go and that day was his.

4. Lincoln was referring the "great struggle" to the the foundation of the United States and it's independence. The patriots fought against the British. Once we got independence from them, the struggle was finding a way to control and maintain it. The constitution was written so everyone knew their rights and what they could do with this new independence. Also, it had their consequences. This "great struggle" compares to a time when I was in 7th grade. All the students recently got laptops. The class had to come up with some punishments if we took advantage of the independence we were given. We were in charge of our consequences for our actions. Just like the men who made the constitution.

4. Abraham Lincoln is either talking about the Civil War or the problems with slaves, I do think that he is talking more about the Civil War. The Civil War was a great struggle because it was families fighting against families, friends against friends. I could never imagine shooting my brother or my best friend. I had a friend who had problems, parents just got divorced, got in a fight with her best friend, hurt people when she wasn't trying to and didn't know how to handle it. She was at war with herself trying to figure out so much at one time. She couldn't get a good grip on what she wanted. It was like she was having a Civil War with herself. It was horrible, she had meltdowns in class, she couldn't focus. She got help from family and friends including me. She got a therapist and make a good recovery. The war has ended.

4. For the great struggle President Lincoln mentioned I think he was trying to tell use something. Something about that he knows the pain and the great struggle America went thought and that he is her to help it and us recover. Recover form the pain and the lose we have experienced in the past and show us a better and bright future alies a head of us. One great struggle that is good for this quote that I had was the great struggle or school and grades. Its a constant up hill battle to keep up with school and sports and most importantly friends. I always had very little time for play but when I could play I squeezed every once of fun out of what I was doing. My conclusion or Lesson I want you to take away from my story is it will be tuff and the consequences will be harsh but if you succeed then it is a glorious sight above that hill of life.

4. The "Great Struggle" Lincoln is referring too is slavery. He found slavery to be extremely unfair, and thought slaves deserve more, so he would try his best too let slaves become free. A great struggle for me started when I was only a year old, I was put into a new family. I had two other brothers, and my mom only gave me and my youngest brother(who was 4 at the time) up. I was only a baby, so I didn't understand what was going on. But as I get older, things get harder. I haven't seen by birth dad sense I was 3, and my adopted dad left about 5 years ago, I had to grow up without a dad, without my birth parents. And then when my brother was 12, he decided he wanted to leave, I had nothing left, my life was going down hill, I always told myself there was nothing I could do. But now, I'm making better choices, and as much as things may be hard on me, I will stay positive.

4.The great struggle President is referring to is slavery. African Americans were being forced to work as slaves. They did not like being held as slaves (who would?) it was just wrong. Lincoln was against slavery and wanted to put an end to it. Great struggles have been overcome in my life too. Like last year a coach kept telling me I had no confidence, when he really was the one breaking it down. It made me really upset, it was almost as if he had lost faith in me. I ended up coming over that little wall, it was just in the indoor season. Now It has made me better and stronger. This year one of the teams I'm on is not very good. We have high confidence and one other player and I carry the team on our backs (not literally). Nobody liked the way the last indoor season went , my parents were mad and frustrated. I had what felt like the weight of my team bringing me down. Im sure that is how the President felt as he watched, African Americans get treated the way they did.

4. Lincoln was referring to to slavery as the, "Great struggle." Slavery was a major issue. He thought that slaves should be free, and that it's unfair to force other people to do work for you. Slavery is wrong, and even President Lincoln knew that. It was something that was hard to stop. If everyone thought about how the slaves felt, then everyone would realize that it is a "great struggle." I go through a "Great struggle" in volleyball all of the time. Our whole team has to agree on a strategy, and that is usually what we struggle with. We also struggle with communication. We all have to call the ball or, we won't win. This is like what Lincoln said, because his "great struggle," was slavery. On our volleyball team, our "great struggle," is communication.

4. The "great struggle" that Abraham Lincoln is referring to is all of the problems America was facing after they won their freedom. They had to figure out how to run their government and how to manage their country on their own. It was a struggle for them because it was a completely new situation that they had to deal with. They had to work through all of the obstacles in their way. I can't pick out a certain time in my life that relates to this because my life is so unpredictable. Life throws unexpected situations at you and you have to deal with them. You must figure out how to get over the obstacles and continue on with your life. These people did the same when they had to figure out how to use their newly found freedom.

4. Abraham Lincoln was referring to the American Revolution. It was a long hard battle for our freedom. Many people died because of the war. Not only did they die because of guns and swords but because of the cold and the lack of food. Many families went through hard times because their fathers, sons, and husbands were away. Houses were burned to the ground because of the arguing and fighting about which side was the right side to be on. Patriots fought for the freedom for hundreds of people. They wanted to be separated from the king. Once the war was over the United Stated still had problems. There was no money and the government was falling apart. There was no structure and no one knew what to do.
In the past couple of years I have been pushed into the ring with some tough things. In January 2010 my grandma passed away. She was very sick. It was a big blow to to my whole family and I cried for months. In April of that year I was attacked by a dog and I got 7 stitches. The next month we put my horse down at the age of 30. The vet later told us that she had cancer. The rest of that year passed but around Christmas a man the my mother had guardianship over became very ill. He was down syndrom and he was getting old. He was a part of our lives before i was born and he was very special to all of us. By February he had past away at 52. After Mike had died my Grandma was sent into surgery but made it out alive and well. Most of my family from Illinois came up ti Michigan to visit her in the hospital. In October me and my mom got the news that my aunt had died. She was a diabetic and he was blind. They told us her heart had failed. The day i found out my mom came and picked me up and we drove 7 hours down to Shelbyville, Illinois for her funeral. My family was in tears when we got to my grandma's house. The last of my struggles was just last Friday when my cat Leisha died. She was 10 1/2 and she was the last living memory of the times when my parents were happy together. I cried so much. She was one of my best friends and I miss her like crazy. My life has been up and down for a while but I have such great friends and such a great family that helps me get through the hard parts and shows me the good and the happy that life can offer.

4. Abraham Lincoln was referring to slavery and telling people not to own slaves. Lincoln wanted ever man women and child to be free and have life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. One of my struggles was when I tried out for my baseball team 4 years in a row. The first three years I did not make the team. When I was practicing every summer glove, bat and ball in the backyard hitting the ball back and forth. So in 2010 tryouts rolled around in late August and I went up ready to make the team and my mind was 100 percent focus on the team and making it so I went to the 3 sections with no sweat really good. I made the team at the end. Like Lincoln before me putting his mind at ending slavery a put my mind to make the team.

4. When President Lincoln said " great struggle" I think it means that they were struggling in the winter because they were harsh winters but they were still doing good. Also in the war they might of not had as many troops in the war but they were still winning.
In my life, during a baseball game the other team was a lot bigger and stronger than us. The game was really far apart as they were winning 11-4. The 6th inning was the best. We scored the limit of 7 and tied the game. I was pitching in the 7th inning. My heart was pounding really fast! There were two outs and I needed three. When I threw the ball it came right back to me. It went behind. My Short Stop ran up to it and picked it up and threw it to first. The inning was over. The 3rd batter was me and I was sweating. When the first two batters were on 2nd and 3rd my team was happy. When I was struggling that year I knew this why my chance. I swung the bat nailing the into left field... We won the game! that was a time when I was struggling " great"

And to let others know that they were people too. They were dying from exhaustion and dehydration. he thought it was wrong and tried to convince people to let their slaves be free.

4. When he said this quote the thought of the problem was the American Revolution. Becoming a government all by themselves. Making all the rules fair and equal to everyone it can be a challenge. People had to fight so very hard to get where they were. If they gave up then the British would surely pick back up were they started. The americans couldn't let that happen. The people fought through it and that was one of the many great struggles when our nation first was being born.
A Struggle that I had and are still having is fighting with my dad. I feel like were at a constant war against each other but it is getting better. We may have fought about little things but those little things turned into big things and they caused issues. I stopped complaining and it seemed to stop the fights and he stopped complaining and the fights stopped. I'm not sure why but I'm glad it did because I missed talking to him like a normal person. That is still and was one of my major struggles.

4. He is referring to the Revolutionary War in this statement. The struggle for something and the meaning for it lasts forever. Struggling for our right and liberties is not just a fictional thing, but something we all account for. Meaning everyone including slaves should be independent like the people.It reminds me of a time when I was outside with some friends and they wanted to throw rocks at this guys house but it was kind of a struggle to weather go with the group or not. But because it was not right, you and only you have the power to say no. Abraham had the power to say no to the wrong things that America was doing. The power, and the way we respect and lead our people, is up to every individual grouped together as one.It's your responsibility not stand around and let people continue to do wrong things. Every thing you do to help someone else will last forever.And not everything bad has to happen or be the way forever.

How could I possibly compare a struggle in my life, to that of a national struggle? However, there is one constant struggle in my life, it's my relationship with my mother. My mother and I have a good relationship, don't get me wrong we love each other very much, but there certain points in my life where she drives me to the brink of insanity. She has a one track mind, and if she decides to do something then she'll just do it. As in, we'll driving down the freeway, and she'll take out her phone and text my sister to check up on them. The worst thing is how nosy she is. A parent is supposed to be nosy, I understand, but she goes beyond that. She goes to the point to stalk into my room at night to steal my cellphone, and text my friends to make sure if "their worthy of being my friends". All these things, just, makes it sometimes hard to maintain a relationship with her. It's gotten to the point were I moved out with my grandmother for a few weeks.

4. The "great struggle" President Lincoln is referring to is the Revolutionary War. It was a very hard time for the colonist because they had to fight against the British for a very long time. It was especially hard for the soldiers because they had to fight during winter and most soldiers didn't have shoes and they had a low amount of guns to use, also they didn't have a lot of food either. That would be a great struggle! A struggle I have gone through is when we had to put my dog to sleep. It was a very hard time for my family because we all loved him and always spent time with him. He was the best dog too! He would always listen to you, and he would never attack people or animals. We never knew why he got so sick, but we knew he had a disease. We didn't want him to suffer so my parents figured it would be best if we put him to sleep. It was very sad but it was better then him suffering.

4.The great struggle that Abraham Lincoln was talking about, was the economic, and governmental crisis. The great struggle was something that he felt he had to change. In March my dog died. This was a great struggle for me and my brother. We had this dog ever since I was four years old. Our dog was with our grandparents at the time, and they took him to the veterinarian, so my brother and I went to visit them at the vet's office. We saw our grandparents and they called us into the room where they where holding my dog. The vet had to give him an overdose of anesthetics (which is how the veterinarians "put down" animals).

A struggle that i have faced within my life is when my great grandma died. We always used to go over to her house for visits and holidays. And when we lost her it was a big struggle to deal with. Every holiday since she has been gone has never really been the same, Especially easter because that is when she died and I don't think that holiday will ever be the same again.

4. The great struggle Lincoln is referring to is the fact that unifying a nation completely is very hard if not impossible, because of race, religion and even certain things they believe the government should do, or if they even want a government. Lincoln was saying that it is incredibly hard to get a nation to all agree to one set of rules (The Constitution), or all become unified and agree they are one nation. I also believe the one about the liberties is back when the country was being founded certain groups of people didn't have liberties or at least not many of them, That was challenging to get everyone the liberties they deserve. A struggle i have is keeping all of my grades up, which his barley anything compared to unifying a country but it is still a struggle for me. Although this is a very small challenge to over come, especially compared to all the problems President Lincoln had to fix or mend to, it is still a struggle because it just is very hard to get all my work done and turned in, even though I have been getting most of it in.

4. President Lincoln is dealing with the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln did not want slavery to go on anymore, but at the same time he did not want the country to be divided. He had to try to save the government and his country. This problem Abraham Lincoln was dealing with can be compared to one of my great struggles, and one of my great struggles was when I had to make my first speech in C3. This was a struggle because I do no like to speak in front of large groups of people, especially my classmates. Also this was a struggle because this was really the first speech I had read in front of my classmates. After the fact, I realized that it wasn't so bad and now I am more comfortable.

4. It seems like he's talking about the revolutionary war and maybe how he want's the fighting to stop once and for all because he can't deal with it anymore. About two months ago my mom was in the hospital having her gull-batter stone's removed she didn't really want to go. But the pain's she was having kept getting worse and worse. And when she finally did go and get the surgery something went wrong they hadn't had a sterile tool and she ended getting an infection it also made her very sick after 1 month 2 weeks and 4 day's my mom told me that she was getting better and i let out a sigh of relief.

4. The great struggle President Lincoln is referring to is the Civil War. It is a priority one topic that needs to be solved quickly! One time when I went through a great struggle is when my dog murphy died. I know it wasn't like a person dying but It was still morbid. I have gone to funerals before and payed my respects but never really cried. Except for Carly's funeral but that was my first real in-my-face this dog you will never see again approach and I remember days where I would be just crippled in bed crying because I wanted my puppy back. People don't really realize what death can do to a person unless it's happened to them. Some mornings I would forget that he was gone and I would wake up and go downstairs and get a cup of dog food and dump it on the floor where the bowl used to be by mistake and I would just sit there just thinking about him. It was the biggest impact and struggle I have ever had to deal with before andI will never forget Murphy.

4.He was referring to slavery and how people shouldn't own slaves. He believed that every man is free as a citizen. This relates to me because I do not always feel free. My parents control what I do and what I don't do most of the time. It's a free country why am I not free? I am not free because I am living in my parents house and I am not under the law classified as an adult. I have to listen an obey my parents rules. Once I am the age the state says your considered an adult then maybe I will feel free.
Example: When my mother tells me to get a haircut I don't want to get it cut but sense my mom tells me to so I have to gut it cut; and so I don't feel free.

4. He was talking about the decisions in the present time that had to be made,and that he didn't want history to repeat it's self.He wanted the same foundation of faith,but some things need to be changed,and that he was willing to try to fix them.One great struggle that I think about is when a Close family member of mine had gotten sick and everyone thought she just had a cold,but when she started getting worse it seemed like it wasn't just a cold.She got better about a week later but that night she died.My struggle compares to this because there could have made a difference if I told her to go to the doctor.There could have been a different outcome.

3. Perpetuated means something coming to an end or being destroyed./Real definition: Continuing or enduring forever, everlasting.
4. A great struggle that Lincoln can be talking about, is war. He can be saying that it is really bad right now and it may be bad for a while, but it will eventually come to an end. He also can be talking about when you die if you go to heaven or not. And making it to heaven, is a sturggle because you have to be a good person and follow God's laws. A struggle that I have had was when my Grandma died. She died all of a sudden and it was shocking and depressing to know that I couldn't just call her up any day I wanted to. Her death was also hard, because everybody around me was sad. My mom, dad, sister, cousin, aunt, everyone. I hated the feeling of knowing that she wasn't coming back, and that my family never got to say goodbye. This compares to Lincoln's struggles, because each problem was personal and hurt him and I. If it wasn't important to him then he wouldn't have written a speech about it. But, his problem may have been a little more important. His struggle may have effected all of the colonies. The struggle I faced was throughout my family and some of my Grandma's friends. More people may have been hurt by the things Lincoln was talking about, but the feeling is mutual.

3. Perpetuated from my perspective is something on going or something that you struggle or dislike that keeps going or never ending. The actual definition of perpetual is to make something, typically an undesirable situation tha continues indefinitely.
4. My opinion of what President Lincoln is referring to as the "Great Struggle" is the struggle to end slavery. President Lincoln helped end slavery so that is the reason I thought he was referring the "Great Struggle" and he struggled with slavery many times and worked to en it. President Lincoln struggled with ending slavery, many people did not like the idea of slavery ending and President Lincoln worked through those moments to end slavery. Slavery wasn't just a struggle with President Lincoln, also the struggle was with people who used slaves for work and ending slavery would hurt them economically. Slavery was a "Great Struggle" for the slaves even, slaves slaves would not have to work for anybody anymore, they would be there own person then. Many people were (like Abraham Lincoln) were with ending slavery and This struggle to end it took a long time to end slavery and to get the slaves to be there own persons. The "Great Struggle" against slavery was very continuous and hard to get everyone on their side to end it, but they had to go to war but that ended it.

3.

4. President Lincoln was referring to the Civil war, which was all about slavery being abolished. It reminds me of my struggle with my cousin in the hospital last April. My cousin had been living with us for his four years through high school since he was having troubles at his school. He graduated last year, and spent the summer with his mother in Dearborn. From there, we thought that he would get a job, or at least apply for one, and get his college set up. Well, he is very lazy and needs to be told to do those things, and his family is the last place he needs for that, because they have a very lazy life style there. With all the inactivity at his house, he fell into depression and stared forward for two days there. There was actually something wrong in his brain, because he accidentally took to much allergy medicine (his allergies are really bad). Anyway, it was a struggle for me seeing him in that hospital bed because I couldn't make up my mind if he's just being extremely lazy and hopeless, because we tried hard to get him to look to the future, but also sad for him that this happened and his family are just a bunch of lazy people not helping him at all.

4. The "great struggle" that Lincoln is referring to slavery. Slavery was very hard for a lot of people. It went on for a very long time, and is still happening in some places today. It was such a great struggle back then because there ware so many people having to spend their life's working every day, all day long with little food and water or other things they needed to survive.
A "great struggle" me and my family had was moving away to Iowa two years ago. It was a major change for everyone in my family and it was very hard to leave home and live in a different state for two years but we had to look at the bright side that we were all together and get through that hard time which thankfully we did.
