excerpt from Message to the Congress in Special Session, July 4, 1861
by Abraham Lincoln

This is essentially a People's contest. On the side of the Union, it is a struggle for maintaining in the world, that form, and substance of government, whose leading object is, to elevate the condition of men—to lift artificial weights from all shoulders—to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all—to afford all, an unfettered start, and a fair chance, in the race of life.

I am most happy to believe that the plain people understand and appreciate this. It is worthy of note, that while in this, the government's hour of trial, large numbers of those in the Army and Navy, who have been favored with the offices, have resigned, and proved false to the hand which had pampered them, not one common soldier, or common sailor is known to have deserted his flag.

Great honor is due to those officers who remain true, despite the example of their treacherous associates; but the greatest honor, and most important fact of all, is the unanimous firmness of the common soldiers, and common sailors. To the last man, so far as known, they have successfully resisted the traitorous efforts of those, whose commands, but an hour before, they obeyed as absolute law. This is the patriotic instinct of the plain people. They understand, without an argument, that destroying the government, which was made by Washington, means no good to them.

Our popular government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it, our people have already settled—the successful establishing, and the successful administering of it. One still remains—its successful maintenance against a formidable [internal] attempt to overthrow it. It is now for them to demonstrate to the world, that those who can fairly carry an election, can also suppress a rebellion—that ballots are the rightful, and peaceful, successors of bullets; and that when ballots have fairly, and constitutionally, decided, there can be no successful appeal, back to bullets; that there can be no successful appeal, except to ballots themselves, at succeeding elections. Such will be a great lesson of peace; teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by a war—teaching all, the folly of being the beginners of a war.

Lest there be some uneasiness in the minds of candid men, as to what is to be the course of the government, towards the Southern States, after the rebellion shall have been suppressed, the Executive deems it proper to say, it will be his purpose to be guided by the Constitution, and the laws; and that he probably will have no different understanding of the powers, and duties of the Federal government, relatively to the rights of the States, and the people, under the Constitution, than that expressed in the inaugural address.

He desires to preserve the government, that it may be administered for all, as it was administered by the men who made it. Loyal citizens everywhere, have the right to claim this of their government; and the government has no right to withhold, or neglect it.

The Constitution provides, and all the States have accepted the provision, that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government.'' But, if a State may lawfully go out of the Union, having done so, it may also discard the republican form of government; so that to prevent its going out is an indispensable means to the end of maintaining the guaranty mentioned.

Alvarez.
My mother blushed and admitted her baby's real name
to the group. Her mother in-law had recently died, she
apologized, and her husband had insisted that the first
daughter be named after his mother, Mauran. My mother
thought it the ugliest name she had ever heard, and she
talked my father into what she believed was an
improvement, a combination of Mauran and her own
mother's name, Felicia.
"Her name is Mao-ree-shee-ah," my mother said to the
group of women.
"Why, that's a beautiful name," the new mothers cried.
"Moor-ee-sha, Moor-ee-sha," they cooed into the pink

Adventure of my life

Weekends are always busy, especially for people like me. I'm Janet and I work part time as a waitress at the Downtown diner a few blocks away from school. I live in a crowded city, full of lively people who always have plans of some sort. I live with my older brother Chase, and single mother Kendra. My parents split up when I was a baby so I never really knew who or what my father was. Anyways, we live in an apartment down the street from where I work. Currently I am a senior in highschool and a graphic designer in training, although I am hoping for that to change. I look forward to having a career that will keep me interested and alive rather than working a job that will slowly drive me insane.
“Finally!..., it is finally Friday.” I always look forward to Fridays since it’s the last day before I get a break from homework, assignments, teachers, etc. I get to look forward to my job and have the rest of the afternoons to myself.
I get up already running late for school. I get ready and decide I’ll grab breakfast from the diner on my way. I grabbed the keys and hurried towards the door when suddenly my mom started calling my name. Turning back I see her speeding down the stairs with a letter in her hand. Then, handing it to me she told me to slip it into the dropbox around the corner when I get the chance. Myself being in a hurry I sighed and answered in an ok and headed out the door not thinking anything of it.
I started walking to school. I saw some of my neighbors walking around the neighborhood, then I took out my airpods and my phone from my backpack. I listened to music while walking in a nice,quiet environment. Later I felt like someone was following me from behind me so I just tried to be normal and calm so the guy doesn’t think that I know what he’s doing so I lower my volume down. I started walking a bit faster, he was still coming closer to me then I looked at the time on my phone. I had five minutes less time to be in class. I thought about going to the building next to my school, I went in, went to the restroom texting my brother saying where are you? He said at home why? Can you pick me up. So then I showed my location where I was. So I waited until my brother came and he came into the building….


I came out from the restroom and ran as quickly as possible. I brother
