Think About It
Before we dive into the lesson, think of a time when you were unsure about something. Maybe you had to take a spelling test and did not know exactly what would be on it. Maybe you went on a scavenger hunt with your friends and did not know where it would lead. Or maybe you picked up a new book and did not know how it would end. How did you respond to the uncertain situation? 
Working Together
During the past two lessons, we have talked quite a bit about slavery and the heroes who fought against it. Recall that President Abraham Lincoln was the Republican leader of the Union, who fought to preserve the Union and abolish slavery. You will also remember the states who opposed abolishing slavery, the Confederate states. There were also states who did not claim either side called border states. Lincoln did not know how he was going to unite everyone to support the ending of slavery in America. Thankfully he was not fighting this battle alone.
