movements or people’s legacies have been researched to share with their classmates. Abraham Lincoln’s legacy was enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation, helping to end slavery in the southern states and taking a step toward racial equality. Abraham Lincoln was born on Feb. 12th, 1809, in Hodgenville, Kentucky. Born in a one-room log cabin,…

the Emancipation Proclamation does not necessary mean that slavery was fully terminated. Emancipation questioned both the North and the South what the nation really stood for. Unlike the South, the North paid more attention to the idea of emancipation and were willing to help transform slaves into productive citizens and soldier. Through this process, Northern perceptions of blacks and equality were changed. Some used their change of perception as a motivation into fighting for emancipation.…

Litwack, I had a one-sided viewpoint on the freedom of slaves post emancipation. After reading and engaging with litwack 's work, I now have a different opinion over the issue of race and emancipation post-Civil War. I now question whether Lincoln 's Emancipation Proclamation really freed slaves in the Antebellum South. This novel opened my mind to situations that I never knew existed and information I was not taught…

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. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863 after the Union victory at the Battle of Antietam. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in rebellious Southern states. Nevertheless, it changed the purpose of the war. From the Northern view, the war became a fight to end slavery and preserve…

The Emancipation Proclamation did state “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free” (“Primary Sources”), but there was a few problems with the proclamation. The Proclamation was very limited, the emancipation of slavery only applied it states that had rebelled against the union, so any states that were still apart of the union still had slavery. The Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free a single slave.…

victories, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, that declared free all slaves in Confederate slaves. This extensive use of presidential war powers on the part of Lincoln was limited since the Proclamation did not apply to Union states with slavery or the border slave states, yet this executive order would end the injustices of a centuries old institution, liberating millions in turn. Lincoln had assumed leadership of a growing crusade of liberty, that sought emancipation as a worthy…

Lincoln made a significant impact on the American Nation by his speeches and documents in at least two ways. First, he got the Union some support because of writing the Emancipation Proclamation. For example, after the Union victory at the Battle of Antietam, he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation which stated “As of January 1, 1863, all persons held as slaves within the states currently in rebellion shall be free.” (The Civil War-Section III) Although this document did not free any slaves,…

Worse Than Slavery: Parchman Farm and the Ordeal of Jim Crow Justice, was written by David M. Oshinsky in the attempt to explain why after the Emancipation Proclamation and the freeing of black slaves, that black people still weren’t a hundred percent free and that the treatment they faced after slavery was much worse than slavery itself. In the book Oshinsky starts off in the Prologue by talking about the Parchman Farm. According to Oshinsky, “Parchman is the quintessential penal farm, the…

He says that unanimity is impossible, and if the minority rejects majority rule, then anarchy is all that is left. It is my opinion that Lincoln really shouldn’t have had to worry about secession, because it would only speed up the process of emancipation. If the southern states wanted to fight for slavery, they should do so legally, with the vote. When I first learned that states seceded even though Lincoln said he won’t interfere with slavery, and they had a majority in Congress, I was…
