In the end, he accomplished that goal, and in this context, he was prepared for death.

His life was one that was full of hardships and disappointments, but we can say with confidence that he tried his best, although he probably wished he could have done more. But he seldom, if ever, rested or relaxed in pursuit of his ultimate goal: to keep America from being torn apart. Of course, Lincoln did not know that he was going to die that night. His plans for rebuilding post-war America, the hope of the newly freed slaves, and the morale of a war-weary people were shattered with one bullet. They were enjoying a small bit of recreation after the end of a war that made Lincoln look years older than he actually was. Lincoln, his wife, and two guests went to see the play Our American Cousin, performed at Ford’s Theatre in Washington D.C. Although the attempt on Lincoln’s life was the only successful one, it could have had even more disastrous effects on the country if all three men had been killed. This assassination was part of a bigger plot amongst Booth and other Southern sympathizers to take out the key players in America’s government: Lincoln (President), Andrew Johnson (Vice President), and William Seward (Secretary of State). Only a short time before did the surrender of the South take place at the Appomattox Court House. On April 14 th, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot in the back of the head by actor John Wilkes Booth, and died on the morning of April 15 th. Even when it means you sacrifice your own life for another. As tragic as the sinking of the Titanic was, it continues to shows us that people are still capable of compassion and bravery, even when facing death. Isidor Straus (the co-owner of Macy’s) refused to leave the ship while there were still women and children trapped on the ship, while his wife Ida was determined to remain with him, since during their entire marriage they had never spent more than ten days apart. Thomas Byles, a Catholic priest, refused to get in a lifeboat while other people were still aboard, and continued to hear confessions and led people of all faiths in the Rosary as the ship went down. What a touching final homage to their talent and love of music! Fr. I’ve often found inspiration from the musicians on board, who continued to play their instruments to calm the people until the ship went under. Despite such displays of cowardice and selfishness, there are also many people to admire. Others used bribes and made deals to secure spots in the lifeboats, which weren’t even filled to full capacity. Countless people were trapped below deck, so the first-class passengers could get off ahead of them. One thing that makes my blood boil every time I read about this, is the injustices shown to the third-class passengers. Disasters have a way of bringing out the best and the worst in people, and that was certainly the case with the Titanic. Now, before we all start daydreaming about Rose and Jack, pause to think of all the other people who suffered this tragedy. This year will be the 105 th anniversary of the sinking. On April 14 th, 1912, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg near Greenland, and had completely sunk by the early morning hours of April 15 th. "M'$" with Lil Wayne is just plain filthy (in a great way), while "Everyday" with Miguel, Rod Stewart, and Mark Ronson is melodically strong. The Dirty South influence on the track sets the song apart, but it shares a platform with several incredible group projects: "Electric Body" with Schoolboy Q is appealingly groovy and "Jukebox Joints," featuring Kanye West and Joe Fox, has “Yeezy production" written all over it. Juicy J, an executive producer of the album, also collaborates with Rocky on "Wavybone," which also features verses from UGK, including both Bun B and the late Pimp C. "Fine Whine" featuring Future, M.I.A., and Joe Fox, along with "Pharsyde" featuring Joe Fox, add to the album's aura. The album as a whole has a psychedelically inspired feel to it, epitomized by " L$D," where Rocky drops rapping and sings about a mixture of love and drugs. Rocky flaunts his versatility, while also sticking close to same style of production fans fell in love with in his early work. AT.$AP makes answering that question easy.
