Whereas, by helping to preserve the Union and by holding a 
national election, as scheduled, during a civil war, Abra-
ham Lincoln reaffirmed the commitment of the people of 
the United States to majority rule and democracy; 
Whereas the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham 
Lincoln declared that slaves within the Confederacy 
would be forever free and welcomed more than 200,000 
African-American soldiers and sailors into the Armed 
Forces of the Union; 
Whereas the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham 
Lincoln fundamentally transformed the Civil War from a 
battle for political unity to a moral fight for freedom; 
Whereas the faith Abraham Lincoln had in democracy was 
strong, even after the bloodiest battle of the war at Get-
tysburg; 
Whereas the inspiring words spoken by Abraham Lincoln at 
Gettysburg still resonate today: ‘‘that these dead shall 
not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall 
have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the 
people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish 
from the earth’’; 
Whereas Abraham Lincoln was powerfully committed to 
unity, turning rivals into allies within his own Cabinet 
and welcoming the defeated Confederacy back into the 
Union with characteristic generosity, ‘‘with malice toward 
none; with charity for all’’; 
Whereas Abraham Lincoln became the first President of the 
United States to be assassinated, days after giving a

poused by the Founders of the United States and the ig-
noble practice of slavery, and redefined what it meant to 
be a citizen of the United States; 
Whereas, in his commitment to unity, Abraham Lincoln did 
more than simply abolish slavery; he ensured that the 
promise that ‘‘all men are created equal’’ was an inherit-
ance to be shared by all people of the United States; 
Whereas the story of Abraham Lincoln and the example of 
his life, including his inspiring rise from humble origins 
to the highest office of the land and his decisive leader-

Whereas in the year 2010, 17 African nations will celebrate 
the 50th anniversary of their independence from France, 
Italy, or Great Britain, including Cameroon (January 1, 
1960), Togolese Republic (April 27, 1960), Republic of 
Mali (June 20, 1960), Republic of Senegal (June 20, 
1960), Republic of Madagascar (June 26, 1960), Demo-

public of Niger (August 3, 1960), Burkina Faso (August

eral Republic of Nigeria (October 1, 1960), and the Is-
lamic Republic of Mauritania (November 28, 1960); 
Whereas contemporary United States ties with Sub-Saharan 
Africa today far transcend the humanitarian interests 
that have frequently underpinned United States engage-
ment with the continent; 
Whereas there is a growing understanding among foreign pol-
icy experts that economic development, natural resource 
management, human security, and global stability are in-
extricably linked;
•HRES 1405 EH 
Whereas cooperation between the United States Armed 
Forces and Africa is growing, with United States and Af-
rican forces routinely conducting joint exercises; 
Whereas African governments are steadily taking a larger 
role in the provision of security and peacekeeping on the 
continent, due in part to United States security assist-
ance and training; 
Whereas Africa’s growing importance is reflected in the in-
tensifying efforts of China, Russia, India, Iran, and other 
countries to gain access to African resources and advance 
their ties to the continent; and 
Whereas a more comprehensive, multi-faceted regional policy 
is essential for the United States to operate effectively in 
this increasingly competitive environment: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) congratulates the people of the 17 African na-
tions that in 2010 are marking the 50th year of their 
national independence; 
(2) honors the lives of the ten of thousands of patri-
ots, including innocent civilians, who died, were impris-
oned, or otherwise dedicated their lives, often at great 
personal sacrifice, to achieving African political inde-
pendence; 
(3) commends the socioeconomic and political 
progress being made by these nations, while acknowl-
edging the associated challenges that many still face;
•HRES 1405 EH

ical, economic, and humanitarian importance to the 
United States; and 
(5) renews the commitment of the United States to 
help the people of sub-Saharan Africa to foster demo-
cratic rule, advance civic freedom and participation, and 
promote market-based economic growth, and to alleviate 
the burden of poverty and disease that so many in the
