When Confederate batteries fired on Fort Sumter and forced its surrender, he called on the states for 75,000 volunteers. Four more slave states joined the Confederacy but four remained within the Union. The Civil War had begun. As President, he built the Republican Party into a strong national organization. Further, he rallied most of the northern Democrats to the Union cause. On January 1, 1863, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation that declared forever free those slaves within the Confederacy. 伟人奋斗As a son of a Kentucky frontiersman, Lincoln had to struggle for a living and for learning. His parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families-second families. Lincoln made extraordinary efforts to attain knowledge while working on a farm, splitting rails for fences, and keeping store in Illinois.

Firmly rejecting Sewards proposal in April 1861 that the country be united by means of a foreign war, he sought to maintain friendly relations with the nations of Europe, used the Emancipation Proclamation to win friends for the Union, and effectively countered Confederate efforts to gain foreign recognition. 师生关系教育地位Plato was a Classical Greek philosopher, who, together with his mentor, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy.
