The value of respect

In room 30 we have read a book about Abraham Lincoln's life and how life is all about respect.  In our book we learnt about slavery and how only dark skinned people had to be the slaves.   In this book Abe was poor but he was happy with his family and friends.   When Abe was a year older Abe and his sister Sarah went to school because their mother said that nobody would respect them if they didn't go to school.   Then when Abe was older a rich farmer asked if he could  go down to New Orleans with the farmers son.   
Then when Abe and Allen went to sleep  river bandits came luckily Abe woke up and he woke up Allen then they fought and Abe and Allen won so the river bandits went and didn't come back.   Then when Abe and Allen got to New Orleans and when they turned the corner Abe saw a very sad sight he saw a slave market.   
He said to Allen "those black people are human beings they deserve respect".   Then when Abe returned home he said to his friends and family that he was going to get a job.   First Abe headed to Salem he got job there and when Abe had finished his shifts he would read tones of books about being a lawyer.  
 Three years later Abe became a lawyer later on that year he had a wife and three children.    Then there was another election and Abe entered to stop slavery. The people thought Abe would be good at being the president so they voted for him. A little while later Abe became the president. After a little while there was a civil war .
