(Students discussing the characteristics that made Abe Lincoln the "Great Emancipator")

Me:  "So, if Lincoln were alive today, do you think he would have had the drive to be president?"
Student #1:  "I don't know, everything was easier in his time.  Like, what if we lived in his time?"
Student #2:  "If I lived in his time, I would have grown up to be somthing great."
Student #3:  "I would have grown up to be Batman."
