Today I will talk about what I was talking about yesterday, which was about Abraham Lincoln's death. We had left off talking about Booth
stabbing Lincoln and his friend right in the back. His and his friend's wife, had noticed very quickly. So, they went to this woman's house, and
got into a very small room, and pictures show that there is a lot of people in that room, and that his son was on that room as well, but that is a
false picture, because of 2 reasons. The reasons are because it was a small room, so not many people could fit into that room, and another reason
was that Lincoln's son was all the way across town at an other play, and once the boy's guardian heard the news, they had quickly sent the boy to
the White House, so there would be no damage to the boy. Abraham Lincoln had officially died the next day, and had no heart beat also the next day.
In the newspaper yesterday, it had said that John Wilkes Booth had killed Lincoln, and someone had actually seen him stabbing Lincoln. Also, in the
newspaper it was also written that whoever had found would get a $500 cash reward. 500 dollars is a pretty big amount, but in the old day it meant
like $5000 which is a lot of money, so a lot of people set out to look for him, and eventually someone had found him, and the Confederate States
was no longer a country! Happiness was filled with the slave's lives, and they were very happy! Another thing about history is of course the terrible
disaster that had occurred on September 11th, 2001. It was a sad day and a scary day for the people of America. On that day an American Airlines
plane from Boston, Massachusetts to New York City was hijacked by a group named al-Qaeda. It was very stupid and wasn't very necessary for them to
do that, but they just wanted Islamic people to live, not any other religion. The maker of al-Qaeda was Osama Bin Laden, and he was a very bad man.
Anyway, he had hijacked the plane, and once it was in New York City, but still flying, people thought why it was still flying, and then people had
seen it go towards the twin towers, or the World Trade Centre. People were very scared about what would happen next, and then it had crashed
straight into the twin towers, and people couldn't believe that happened, and then a 2nd plane arrived, and that one destroyed the 2 tower of the
amazing World Trade Centre. The news quickly spread around the United States of America. It was a very disastrous day for the people in America
and nobody could believe it at all. The fire-fighters quickly got out of the fire-fighter station, and they could save only some of the people that
were near the ground. The fire-fighters did not want to go to the upper part of the building, because that was where the fire had started. To be
Continued.

Today I will talk about some more American history. Some more American history is about the rule of Florida. There has been a lot of crazy
things that has happened to Florida, due to the fact that England had owned that colony, but they were not the only ones that had owned that state,
so that is why Spain and France had taken over Florida. It all started when Spain were the 1st people to actually own Florida, and they were building
a wall, and the English people had attacked the state, and Spain wasn't very powerful at that time, so they had lost the war against England, and the
English had made a treaty where the Spanish could have Cuba, and the English could have Florida. The Spanish people had decided to agree to the rules
of the treaty, because they saw Cuba as a place to dock Spanish ships. Later the Spanish had asked the English that they would trade their Cuba, in
return for Florida, and the English had agreed to that as well, cause they wanted Cuba for the same reason. The had gotten their Florida rule back
again, and they started missions, and Native Americans wanted to live in Florida as well, so they started missions. Missions were the time when the
Native Americans could live under Spanish rule, if and only if they would do Spanish work for them. The Spanish made them to backbreaking work, but
the Spanish in return had given them quality food for free, and lots of other quality supplies. The Native Americans did not like to do the work that
the Spanish had told them to do, so they ended up in war, but the Spanish won that. Then, came pilgrims. They wanted to have America as their own
country, so they went to war against Spain, but this time Spain had not won. The Pilgrims had won! So, that is how it became a country. Now, I want
to talk about our 16th president of the United States of America. The 16th president of the USA which was Abraham Lincoln, and he had been the
president of the United States of America during the time when slavery was happening, and the great and tall man had helped America be a slave free
country, which makes him a great president. If you didn't know thish, then I will tell you how this great man died. You might be thinking that
Lincoln had died, due to old age, but that isn't a true statement. He had died because there were people who actually liked slavery! That is how
crazy people were. Anyway, the killer of Lincoln was John Wilkes Booth. He was an actor and Lincoln had gone to a play, and there was a president's
seat ther, so that was where he was sitting, so Booth made everybody laugh and then went up to the president's seat and got right behind him and
stabbed him and his friend. Then Booth got quickly out of there and left, but he broke his leg. Anyway, after his wife noticed, they brought him to
a house. To be continued.
