    Very outstanding and influential, Abraham Lincoln had a divine gift of leadership, which he adequately exploited in the nation’s politic issues. Like every great leader, Lincoln comprehended people-characters, talents, desires, etc., in a distinct way, so he was able to communicate with people who supported him or even opposed him successfully and let them function in the nation. Elected to be the President of the United States, Lincoln started constructing his cabinet on his election night. Surprised to many people, Lincoln offered William Seward, a strong-minded republican who had been his main political rival, the position of the Secretary of State because Seward was radical on slavery issue and later considered as a centrist, one who supported…

    “When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose. You’re invisible now. You got not secrets to conceal.” We have all felt at some point in our life that we’re alone and that nothing can get worse. It’s almost as Bob Dylan states we have nothing to lose or in a metaphorical term you’re invisible. Imagine these thoughts on your mind 24/7 eating away your very soul or you as a person. Sadly Frederick Douglas, Malcolm X, and Sandra Cisneros all shared these thoughts in common. Although some of their complications and lives were different these differences didn’t restrict their thoughts to being all similar. In a way feeling these thoughts only made them victorious and made them to be role models for many.…

    Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs are two authors with very similar backgrounds. Both Douglass and Jacobs were slaves, and both wrote about the accounts they went through while enslaved. Jacobs views are expressed in "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave," and Jacobs views in "Incidents in The Life of a Slave Girl. Douglass's work is directed towards anyone willing to listen, and emphasized the fact that slavery was evil and dehumanized those of the African American race. Jacobs aims her work towards upper class white women because she feels they will have sympathy for how she was treated because she is also a female. Both writers wrote about the hardships of slavery, but their stories are different due to the fact that Douglass is a male and Jacobs is a female.…

    In my American History classes I have always found the topic of slavery interesting because in my head and the way I was raised, the idea of slavery is unfathomable and I cannot believe it had ever been an issue. Through this topic I heard about Harriet Tubman the creator of the Underground Railroad. Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in 1820 and escaped slavery in 1849. I admire Harriet Tubman because when she was free, she chose to risk here freedom in order to help her family and friends. It is a character like Harriet Tubman’s that makes a good leader. She was able to set up a network of safe houses and rescue hundreds from slavery. The fact that Harriet Tubman had the courage to risk her freedom in order to save others is hard to believe because during her time as a slave she had endure so much physical violence; one time she had been struck in the head by a two-pound weight which caused her to endure seizures, severe headaches and narcoleptic episodes for the rest of her life.…

    A strong and powerful lady said these wise words: “There was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other; for no man should take me alive; I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted, and when the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me”. The brave women who said these words were Harriet Tubman and she was one of the leaders of the Underground Railroad that helped slaves reach freedom. “Although not an actual railroad of steel rails, locomotives and steam engines, the Underground Railroad was real nevertheless” (encyclopedia The Civil War and African Americans 329) The term “Underground Railroad” referred to the network of safe houses, transportation and the many very kind hearted people who risked their own lives to help the slaves escape from the Southern States to freedom. Many different kinds of transportation were actually used. Sometimes the slaves would travel by foot or they could be hidden on boats, or hide in wagons or carts carrying vegetables or other goods The runaway slaves became known as “passengers”, and the route traveled was the “line” while people who helped out along the way were called the “agents”. Leaders like Harriet Tubman who would travel with the slaves that were escaping, were called “conductors”.…
