daily blog 2/28

On the first day back from vacation I surprisingly stayed more awake in class than I thought I would. We read and talked about Abraham Lincoln whose changes to America influence everything, in my opinion. His dedication and appreciation for the Declaration of Independence is something he strongly believed in. He expressed is belief in the principle of 'Liberty to all' as being what the Constitution is made for by using an analogy saying that the Constitution is a "silver painting" to the principle being a "golden apple".
