THE SAD PAST


In the Civil War, President Lincorn was being deeply immersed in thought.


"We are people!"


The boy's voice is brought back. This is the last words of him. He was getting weak in Lincorn's sight, but Lincorn couldn't do anything.


The past Lincorn cannot efface is the death of a friend, Tom.


When Lincorn was six years old, he met Tom for the first time. Tom was a slave who was employed by Abraham family. At first, Lincorn was frightened by Tom. Tom was nine years older than Lincorn, and he spoke a little different language, and he was a black. However, Tom was so kind. Tom knows many things Lincorn didn't know. For example, he told about his village and nature of Africa. Then Lincorn began to like Tom. Lincorn felt Tom to be brother. When Lincorn worried about friends and study, Tom heard him and gave advice. In the front of Lincorn, Tom always smiled.

However, the smile didn't keep forever.

One day, Lincorn's mother said.
"Don't talk with Tom."
"Why?"
"Because Tom is slave. If you are with him, you will be bad boy."
"But, Tom is so kind. He told me many things I don't know."
"Anyway, you must not talk with Tom. If you are woth Tom, your father never permit you."
Lincorn cannot be persuaded.

"We are slave, so it cannot be helped."
When Lincorn said this to Tom, he said.
"But I am person. Never forget, Lincorn."
Tom looked sadly.
Lincorn worried about his parents, but he continued to talk with Tom secretly.

However, at last, the secret was out.

"I told you not to talk with my son!"

It was Lincorn's father that shouted. The moment he saw Lincorn and Tom, he seized Tom by the lapel.
"Stop, Daddy! Stop! Stop!! Tom is not guilty!"
Confusedly, Lincorn tried to stop. However, his father interrupted him.
“Shut up! Do not hear this man like a worm! It doesn't know anything!!
The moment Tom heard the words, the expression of his eyes changed. Lincorn had never seen terrible eyes like that.
“I’m not a worm, I’m a person!”
It was the first time when Tom resisted. Lincorn’s father never forgave Tom. In front of Lincorn, Tom was beaten again and again. Lincorn tried to stop tearfully, but he could only see tom getting weak.
“We are people!”
Tom cried out, and died.

Tom was thrown away in the forest like a worm……….

“I will make them people.”
Lincorn mutterd and determined to declare the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.
