Велики реплики на велики личности

Моят блог е насочен към софтуер за защита (най-вече този на ESET), към заплахите върлуващи из интернет пространството и много други неща от IT сферата, но освен това, той в него винаги ще има за всекиго по нещо. За да покажа, че това е така, реших новата тема да бъде част от историята и най-вече от американската.
Вчера, докато разглеждах „History of the United States“ от McDougal Littell попаднах на много на брой и прекрасни реплики на велики американци, като Abraham Lincoln, George Washington и Abigail Adams. Реших, специално за читателите на моя блог да ги извадя от книгата и да ги публикувам в моя блог. Сигурен съм, че ще Ви се харесат. Ето ги и тях:
