Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led his country through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. Before his election in 1860 as the first Republican president, Lincoln had been a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and twice an unsuccessful candidate for election to the U.S. Senate. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States,[1][2] Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. His tenure in office was occupied primarily with the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. As the civil war was drawing to a close, Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated.

Lincoln closely supervised the victorious war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each faction into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate. Lincoln successfully defused the Trent affair, a war scare with Britain, in 1861. Under his leadership, the Union took control of the border slave states at the start of the war. Additionally, he managed his own reelection in the 1864 presidential election.

Copperheads and other opponents of the war criticized Lincoln for refusing to compromise on the slavery issue. Conversely, the Radical Republicans, an abolitionist faction of the Republican Party, criticized him for moving too slowly in abolishing slavery. Even with these road blocks, Lincoln successfully rallied public opinion through his rhetoric and speeches; his Gettysburg Address is but one example of this. At the close of the war, Lincoln held a moderate view of Reconstruction, seeking to speedily reunite the nation through a policy of generous reconciliation. Abraham Lincoln has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.

3. 林肯的襪子和鞋的故事英文版，急求 完整的

我只有中文版的
聖誕節的前夜，史密斯先生在自家鞋店玻璃櫥前發現了一個撿煤屑的窮小子，衣衫襤褸，穿著一雙早已「千瘡百孔」並極不合適的鞋子，正盯著櫥櫃里精美的鞋子，眼睛裡飽含著一種莫名的希翼。這就是當時只有八九歲光景的林肯。當史密斯先生問林肯：「我能幫你什麼忙時？」林肯回答：「我在祈求上帝賜我一雙合適的鞋子。」面對林肯的要求，史密斯先生沒有接納其夫人的建議，直接送給林肯一雙鞋子，而是拿出一雙櫥櫃里最好的襪子，並告訴林肯：「孩子啊，真對不起，你要一雙鞋子的要求，上帝沒有答應，他說，不能給你一雙鞋子，而應當給你一雙襪子。」當林肯的臉上布滿失望與傷心的神情時，史密斯先生邊用溫水給他洗腳，邊給林肯說了一番讓他終身受益的話：「孩子，我們每個人都會對心中的上帝有所祈求，但是，他不可能給予我們現成的好事，就像在我們生命的果園里，每個人都追求果實累累，但是上帝只能給我們一粒種子，只有把這粒種子播進土壤里，精心去呵護，它才能開出美麗的花朵，到了秋天才能收獲豐碩的果實；也就像每個人都追求寶藏，但是上帝只能給我們一把鐵楸或一張藏寶圖，要想獲得真正的寶藏還需要我們親自去挖掘。關鍵是自己要堅信自己能辦到，自信了，前途才會一片光明啊！就拿我來說吧，我在小時侯也曾祈求上帝賜予我一家鞋店，可上帝只給了我一套做鞋的工具，但我始終相信拿著這套工具並好好利用它，就能獲得一切。二十多年過去了，我做過擦鞋童、學徒、修鞋匠、皮鞋設計師……現在，我不僅擁有了這條大街上最豪華的鞋店，而且擁有了一個美麗的妻子和幸福的家庭。孩子，你也是一樣，只要你拿著這雙襪子去尋找你夢想的鞋子，義無返顧，永不放棄，那麼，肯定有一天，你也會成功的。另外，上帝還讓我特別叮囑你：他給你的東西比任何人都豐厚，只要你不怕失敗，不怕付出！」
史密斯先生的一番話，可謂影響了林肯的一生，三十年過後，昔日的窮小子成為了美國歷史上有名的總統。
讀罷這個故事，我們不能不為史密斯先生充滿智慧的話語所折服，他那比黃金還貴重的話和一雙襪子激活了林肯生命的自信和不屈，並開啟了林肯去追求實現自己的夢想的大門。試想，如果當時史密斯先生出於同情和憐憫，直接送給林肯一雙溫暖和漂亮的鞋子，那麼，有可能林肯就會逐漸習慣於在自己困難時首先想到向別人求救，把希望寄託在別人身上，自己消極地等待、被動地接受，從而成為生活沒有方向和目標，不能主宰自己人生的人。
對照史密斯先生，不知我們做家長的是否有所感悟，也許我們對自己的孩子過於呵護，過於擔心和憂慮，怕孩子吃苦、怕孩子受累、怕孩子有委屈……，太多的擔心讓我們總想為孩子包攬一切（從物質到精神），如此，我們的孩子就會從小時侯的飯來張嘴衣來伸手到長大後的無助、無能和無為，我們的孩子在我們的過度保護下會慢慢失去自己拼搏、生存的能力，他們的一對展翅飛翔的羽毛將越發柔弱並最終退化。我想，我們做家長的，應該學習史密斯先生，要從孩子保姆、書童、秘書等的角色中轉變過來，要成為孩子生活的指引者、設計者和啟迪者，要給予孩子對他終身發展有益的東西，要幫助孩子學會如何設計和選擇自己的人生，要樹立孩子為實現自己理想而努力奮斗的決心和信心，要教會孩子解決問題的方法而非直接告知問題的答案，因為「授人以漁」遠遠好於「授人以魚」。
