The celebration of thu birthdays of the two former presidents, G<orge Washington and Abiahnm Lincoln, conic> and goe.; each year without gn at attention, and yet, all has time for brief thought of these two men. W.L.lungion was a national hero as he was a general in the Revolutionary War in which the United States won liner independence from England. He being not only a great soldier and hero, but also a great gentleman, was civsiy the popular choice for the first president of the newly independent country. His leadership was never doubted and he was a big. strung person as he had a’M) excelled in athlete wavs m earlier hfe. iMitvoln. on me other hand was born and raised in much more unpien^mt conditions. He had to work for all he had during his life coming from the much more unsettled midwest. He was also a strong man. but much .lighter built and tall to the point of appearing very .dim Not having the opportunities at hand that Washington shared, his whole life was one if KrugS*® as he practically educated and supported him.sclf. Washington had in his favor, a new, young country, fresh in spirit after their victory from England. and the choice of mm to assist him in his duty. Lincoln, on the other hand, gained his spot as president in a time of trouble and tension. The great country that Washington had helped to build, was now dbrtrdbed and ill at owe, getting realty for a war within itself. In both cases, these men came Ito the top and still stand cut for the jobs tney mastered in their high position Washington is commonly referred to as the "Father of our Country." and Lincoln is the man who faced the crisis of saving this same country Lincoln will long be remembered as the man who freed the slaves. giving them a chance at life to Him like human beings opposed to the near animal life they had led He was a very intelligent and Kief man. making his feelings and thoughts understood. The famous Gettysburg address given on November 19. 1863. is a perfect example Th,- complete difference in th* two men continued n other various plWtcs of their lives, even when it came to death Wa hington died a couple of years after completing his terms as president on December 14, 1799.

Washington was nosn ally a very successful man being the victorious general in the war uith England, having been a succc>sful president and had the opportunity for success all his life. i Lincoln. alth< ugh a eal story of success in the end. had the hud path to suer cs • (ippoi t unities were not his, he had to make hi> own.
