had abundant manpower.In 1864, Lincoln put forward slogan that “the people, by the people”.It enhanced troop's morale.In April, 1865, the Yankees achieved victory in the Civil War, meaning the war that lasted four years ended.The Civil War is called the second revolution after the War of Independence.Lincoln became a symbol of black liberation.Because Lincoln can adapt to the demand of the masses, destroyed slavery in a revolutionary way, and solved the people's demand for land in the Civil War of the most critical juncture, thus he promoted the development of America's capitalism, and made important contributions to safeguard national unity and liberate black slaves.Due to the excellent achievements of Abraham Lincoln, he was elected as America's president again on November 8, 1864.However, Lincoln haven't put his post-war policies into effect, tragedy happened.Because slave owners hatred Lincoln extremely.On April 14, 1865 night at ten fifteen, fifth days after the surrender of the Southern army.Lincoln was attacked by an assassin in Ford theatre in Washington.Lincoln's unfortunate death caused a huge shock at home and abroad.American people conveyed profound

greatest presidents in American's history, the county town of Lancaster County, renamed the Lincoln, and became the state's capital.Although not to receive advanced education, Lincoln has excellent eloquence and grace, the direct embodiment is the famous Gettysburg address.The last sentence became the definition of modern democratic government: to enable us to get free living under God in this country, the government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.There are four presidential giant statues in the Rushmore National Park, Lincoln's is in the

林肯英文介绍
Abraham Lincoln(February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865)served as the 16th President of the United States 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 introduced 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.Six days after the large-scale surrender of Confederate forces under General Robert E.Lee, 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 late 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 opponents, Lincoln successfully rallied public opinion through his rhetoric and speeches;his Gettysburg Address(1863)became an iconic symbol of the nation's duty.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.Lincoln has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest of all U.S.Presidents.

Heathcliff is a fictional character in the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.Owing to the novel's enduring fame and popularity, he is often regarded as an archetype of the tortured Romantic Byronic hero whose all-consuming passions destroy both himself and those around him.Heathcliff can also be viewed as a reflection and product of his psychological past: the abuse, neglect and scorn of those with whom he grows up render him abusive, neglectful and scornful.Legend has stereotyped him somewhat into a romantic hero, and he is generally known more for his love for Catherine Earnshaw than his final years of vengeance in the second half of the novel, in which he grows into a bitter, haunted man(although there are also a number of incidents in Heathcliff's early life that show that he was an angry and sometimes malicious individual from the beginning;again, these tend to be glossed over in the popular imagination).His complicated, mesmerising and altogether bizarre nature makes him a rare character, with components of both the hero and the anti-hero.Catherine Earnshaw, known as Catherine Linton after her marriage, is the main female protagonist of Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights.While residing in her ancestral home Wuthering Heights, she forms a deep romantic bond with foster brother Heathcliff, one that leads them both into misery, violence and despair.Edgar Linton is a character in Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights.His role in the story is that of Catherine Earnshaw's husband.He resides at Thrushcross Grange and falls prey to Heathcliff's schemes for revenge against his family.Edgar is the father of his and Catherine's daughter, Catherine Linton, and the brother of Isabella Linton.He is a complete foil of Heathcliff as a character, as shown by his tender, gentle, and weak personality as opposed to Heathcliff's savage, tyrannical nature.Isabella Linton is a female character in Emily Brontë's only novel Wuthering Heights.She is the sister of Edgar Linton and the wife of Heathcliff.Hindley Earnshaw is a male character in Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights.The brother of Catherine Earnshaw, father of Hareton Earnshaw, and sworn enemy of Heathcliff, he descends into a life of drunkenness, degradation, and misery after his wife Frances dies in childbirth, enabling

第五篇：林肯第二次就职演讲(英文)
At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first.Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper.Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of his great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented.The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all.With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard
to it is ventured.On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war.All dreaded it;all sought to avert it.While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving teing delivered from thisurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war-seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation.Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it.Their slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest.All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war.To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it.Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration, which it has already attained.Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease.Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding.Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged.That of neither has been answered fully.The Almighty has His own purposes.“Woe unto the world because of offenses;for it must need be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comet.” If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern there in any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass
away? Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago so still it must be said “The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous
altogether.”
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the might, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all
nations.
