The person that I chose for the I am Project is Andrew Carnegie. When I first picked my person prior to my research, all I knew about him was that he had something to do steel and that he was in the time of John D. Rockefeller. I wanted to find out more interesting facts about my person, because the only information that came up was only his achievements not about his personal life. When I was researching, one of my questions was that if he would have still donated all that money if he was alive today and why would he donate all the money. There were so many questions that came to my mind because he had accomplished so many things.

My primary historical question is,


 * Why did he donate that much money, when he could have spent it on himself?**
