Morale Problems with the Emancipation Proclamation The emancipation proclamation was the document that was “supposed” to stop slavery in the United States. In the document there was only one error. Instead of freeing all slaves in the country, the document only freed slaves that were in the confederate states. As stated in the document itself: And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and…

The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebel states “are, and henceforward shall be free.” This proclamation was an important step towards abolishing slavery and conferring American citizenship upon ex-slaves, although the proclamation did not actually outlaw slavery or free the slaves in the Union states that still permitted it (“The Immediate Effects”). The proclamation also broadened the…

North and try to annihilate Lincoln 's army on Northern soil. It was now Lincoln’s job to reignite the courage in his troops and give them the confidence to turn this war around.

Nevertheless, it changed the purpose of the war. From the Northern view, the war became a fight to end slavery and preserve…

Through the years, numerous abolitionists worked fervently trying to free the enslaved peoples and end slavery. To some extent, they were successful in spreading the word against slavery. Unfortunately, many lost their lives while fighting for their cause because it was something different and most people back in that time did not like change at all. At least their work was not done in vain; their accomplishments were one of many issues that became a springboard for the federal government to…

What led to the American Civil War is a topic of debate which lacks a simple answer. There is heated debate whether the war was fought for emancipation or to preserve the Union. Historians can advocate for either argument since both sides have ample evidence to support their respective standpoint. Both Hollywood and scholarship agree that the Civil War is a war to preserve the Union. While the issue of slavery was a massive factor in the war, it was not the defining factor. The Union army never…

Abraham Lincoln’s role in trying to free the blacks. It was meaningful to me because people in the 19th century went through many struggles during that era that I did not know how rough it was for the slaves. I liked how Abraham Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation in order to free the slaves. I do not like slavery just as Abraham Lincoln did not. It was very wrong to have slaves. It is wrong to judge people by color, and be treated differently because of the color of their skin. We have…

Well all slaves in southern rebellion states that is, he did not want affiliate with Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri. People came to realize it didn 't really freed the slaves there were terms and conditions. There were good intentions behind it but it was mostly for military purposes. Although…

This was a very interesting novel that for me was a book I couldn 't put down. The plot of this work is centered around the hidden diary of Abraham Lincoln, which was given to the author of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Seth Grahame-Smith by the vampire Henry Sturges. The journals go into depth about the details of Abraham Lincoln’s life from boyhood to his death. The journals begin by talking about Lincoln’s upbringing in Little Pigeon Creek. In his youth Lincoln was very attached to his…
