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. 林肯的袜子和鞋的故事英文版，急求 完整的

我只有中文版的
圣诞节的前夜，史密斯先生在自家鞋店玻璃橱前发现了一个捡煤屑的穷小子，衣衫褴褛，穿着一双早已“千疮百孔”并极不合适的鞋子，正盯着橱柜里精美的鞋子，眼睛里饱含着一种莫名的希翼。这就是当时只有八九岁光景的林肯。当史密斯先生问林肯：“我能帮你什么忙时？”林肯回答：“我在祈求上帝赐我一双合适的鞋子。”面对林肯的要求，史密斯先生没有接纳其夫人的建议，直接送给林肯一双鞋子，而是拿出一双橱柜里最好的袜子，并告诉林肯：“孩子啊，真对不起，你要一双鞋子的要求，上帝没有答应，他说，不能给你一双鞋子，而应当给你一双袜子。”当林肯的脸上布满失望与伤心的神情时，史密斯先生边用温水给他洗脚，边给林肯说了一番让他终身受益的话：“孩子，我们每个人都会对心中的上帝有所祈求，但是，他不可能给予我们现成的好事，就像在我们生命的果园里，每个人都追求果实累累，但是上帝只能给我们一粒种子，只有把这粒种子播进土壤里，精心去呵护，它才能开出美丽的花朵，到了秋天才能收获丰硕的果实；也就像每个人都追求宝藏，但是上帝只能给我们一把铁楸或一张藏宝图，要想获得真正的宝藏还需要我们亲自去挖掘。关键是自己要坚信自己能办到，自信了，前途才会一片光明啊！就拿我来说吧，我在小时侯也曾祈求上帝赐予我一家鞋店，可上帝只给了我一套做鞋的工具，但我始终相信拿着这套工具并好好利用它，就能获得一切。二十多年过去了，我做过擦鞋童、学徒、修鞋匠、皮鞋设计师……现在，我不仅拥有了这条大街上最豪华的鞋店，而且拥有了一个美丽的妻子和幸福的家庭。孩子，你也是一样，只要你拿着这双袜子去寻找你梦想的鞋子，义无返顾，永不放弃，那么，肯定有一天，你也会成功的。另外，上帝还让我特别叮嘱你：他给你的东西比任何人都丰厚，只要你不怕失败，不怕付出！”
史密斯先生的一番话，可谓影响了林肯的一生，三十年过后，昔日的穷小子成为了美国历史上有名的总统。
读罢这个故事，我们不能不为史密斯先生充满智慧的话语所折服，他那比黄金还贵重的话和一双袜子激活了林肯生命的自信和不屈，并开启了林肯去追求实现自己的梦想的大门。试想，如果当时史密斯先生出于同情和怜悯，直接送给林肯一双温暖和漂亮的鞋子，那么，有可能林肯就会逐渐习惯于在自己困难时首先想到向别人求救，把希望寄托在别人身上，自己消极地等待、被动地接受，从而成为生活没有方向和目标，不能主宰自己人生的人。
对照史密斯先生，不知我们做家长的是否有所感悟，也许我们对自己的孩子过于呵护，过于担心和忧虑，怕孩子吃苦、怕孩子受累、怕孩子有委屈……，太多的担心让我们总想为孩子包揽一切（从物质到精神），如此，我们的孩子就会从小时侯的饭来张嘴衣来伸手到长大后的无助、无能和无为，我们的孩子在我们的过度保护下会慢慢失去自己拼搏、生存的能力，他们的一对展翅飞翔的羽毛将越发柔弱并最终退化。我想，我们做家长的，应该学习史密斯先生，要从孩子保姆、书童、秘书等的角色中转变过来，要成为孩子生活的指引者、设计者和启迪者，要给予孩子对他终身发展有益的东西，要帮助孩子学会如何设计和选择自己的人生，要树立孩子为实现自己理想而努力奋斗的决心和信心，要教会孩子解决问题的方法而非直接告知问题的答案，因为“授人以渔”远远好于“授人以鱼”。
