Abraham Lincoln
by Faith
Abraham Lincoln was very tall,
he was the tallest of them all
He became the 16th President,
He was also very content.
He was always honest, so mostly he confessed.
Lincoln was born in Illinois,
I don't think he made much noise.
He was born in 1809,and died in 1865.
Was a President for 4 years,
so obviously he had no fear.
The Emancipation Proclamation ended the war for all the nation.
But when he got shot ,surely he was sad, for he had never got to see, the nation in peace as he had wanted it to be.
Sacagawea by Cheyenne
Brown Sacagawea was an Indian.
She was a translator for the confused men.
Sacagawea guided Lewis and Clark.
The Hidatsa tribe stole her from the Shoshone in the dark.
Sacagawea, her name, meant "Bird Woman."
April 9, 1884 was the end of her life span.
Putrid Fever, like the flu, was the cause of death.
Her son, she carried on her back like an ape; Sacagawea was the one who gave him breath.
The Louisiana Expedition she did join,
so, she is on the gold dollar coin.

Thomas Jefferson by Meagan
Thomas Jefferson was born in 1743
No one knew how important to our
Country he would be.
He wrote the Declaration of Independence
He believed in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
He also believed all men are created equal.
He thought England’s laws
Weren’t fair for his people.
The American people he wanted to represent.
So he served as our country’s third president.
As president, he made the Louisiana Purchase.
America is larger because he bought land from France.
He is called one of our founding fathers with all his hard work
He deserves this honor.
Thomas Jefferson helped our country
Receive liberty
He is an important
Part of America’s history.
Sacagawea by Kiearon
Young Sacagawea was a pleasant Indian who guided Lewis and Clark
She’s from Lemhi Shoshone
She was captured and all that was left was a mark
Then Lewis and Clark came on an expedition
They went out west
They had food for nutrition
Sacagawea carried her child over hills and mountains
When the weather’s mild
Then she died on April 9, 1884
She lived in theGreat Basin
They had good times before
We remember her on the dollar coin

Harriet Tubman

She was also very sly.

Her Underground Railroad was a freedom train
To help slaves escape their pain.
George Washington
by Wade
First, George Washington was the first president
Then, there was a big event called the Revolutionary War.

And then he did a little more.

George Washington
by David
George Washington, the Father of our Country
Was the first U.S.A. president.
Helped this country become free
Because of his patriotic intent.
Leader of the Revolution Army
Defeated the British so they had to flee.
At Yorktown, Cornwallis had to surrender
So, King George didn't eat dinner.
Jack Jouett rode a horse so fast.
He was always on an important task.
Saving the patriots was his mission.
It was a dangerous expedition.
He warned Thomas Jefferson that the British were coming.
To capture him for their king.
Jouett got there just in time.
So everyone was saved and were fine.
