| Abraham
Lincoln became America’s greatest Precedent. Lincoln’s mother
died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built
with his own hands. When Lincoln was President, he wore only
a tall silk hat. He said, "In onion there is strength."
Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address while traveling
from Washington to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope.
Fourteenth Amendment gave ex-Negroes citizenship. But the
Clue Clux Clan would torcher and lynch the ex-Negroes and
other innocent victims. It claimed it represented law and
odor. On the night of April 14, 1865, Linclon went to the
theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a
moving picture show. The believed assinator was John Wilkes
Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth’s career.
Meanwhile
in Europe, the enlightenment was a reasonable time. Voltare
invented electricity and also wrote a book called Candy. Gravity
was invented by Isaac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in
the Autumn, when the apples are falling off the trees.
Bach
was the most famous composer in the world, and so was Handel.
Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He
was very large. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Beethoven
wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote
loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone
was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died
for this.
France was in a very serious state. The French Revolution
was accomplished before it happened. The Marseillaise was
the theme song of the French Revolution, and it catapulted
into Napoleon. During the napolenonic Wars, the crowned heads
of Europe were tremoling in their shoes. Then the Spanish
gorillas came down from the hills and nipped at Napoleon’s
flanks. Napoleon became ill with bladder problems and was
very tense and unrestrained. He wanted an heir to inherit
his power, but since Josephine was a baroness, she couldn’t
bear children.
The
sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire
is in the East and the sun sets in the West. Queen Victoria
was the longest queen. She sat on a thorn for 63 years. Her
reclining years and finally the end of her life were exemplatory
of a great personality. Her death was the final event which
ended her reign.
The
nineteenth century was a time of many great inventions and
thoughts. The invention of the steamboat casused a network
of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick
raper, which did the work of a hundred men. Samuel Morse invented
a code of telepathy. Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbis.
Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the Organ of the
Species. Madman Curie discovered radium. And Karl Marx became
one of the Marx brothers
The First World War, caused by the assignation of the Arch-Duck
by a surf, ushered in a new error in the anals of human history. |
