Friday we learned more about the Mexican American war. The Americans easily won. Everybody said it was a war of aggression. Good thing about this war was that people used telegraphs and they got regular updates about the war. We also covered Lincoln's Presidency. Lincoln did a lot while he was president. He started the first income tax and he nationalized Thanksgiving. He was part of the Pacific railroad act and established colleges. Southern states seceeded because they didn't agree with what Lincoln thought about slavery. He was against it and they wanted it. Lincoln led the north to victory in the civil war. John Wilkes Booth was a very racist man from the south, he assasinated Lincoln.
