The Twin Revolutions of Lincoln and Darwin.
      
     Lincoln and Darwin are alike in several ways. They were born on the same day on February 12,
1809. They both  thought that all people are created equal.  It seems that there were of the slave era and experienced the cruelty done to the black slaves, just because of the color of their skin. Each man fought to abolish slavery. Each man became great men in their own way, Lincoln a president, who work to save the Union, and Darwin a botanist, whose work led to an understanding of biology and other medical improvements.  Both men's passion was to abolish all slavery. They were both great Emancipators in their own countries in the same century. Each changed history about slavery in the 19th century.
 
     Lincoln and Darwin are different because one was a poor man, and the other experienced a better upbringing. One was an abolitionist and one brought on the Civil War.  One wrote a book on the origins of species, which proved that all men are basically the same, except for the coicalor of their skin.  Lincoln became the president that would go down in history wanting the black people to be free., Darwin is the abolitionist that found ways to improve the medical field. 

    Each man made significant contributions to history. They were great men in their own countries and basically fought for the slaves freedom.  These men deserve special acknowledgment that they were men of greatness, and displayed a humility to help others less fortunate than they were,  Lincoln will always be honored as our fourteenth president.  Darwin's theories will stand for their revolutions of the species.
