Pro The diary of Frederick White Moving to Kentucky was a tough choice, but I believe it’ll pay

I just thought it was a state of strictly farmers and cows, but it just happened to have a large military fort that my dad was getting stationed to. My whole family was in shock when he told us we had to move to Kansas of all places. We were all pretty upset about the situation, but my dad and I didn’t compare to my mom and sister. My mom and sister were notorious for being beach bums, as they would sit out in the sand for the whole day only coming inside to refill drinks or get something to eat. They were out in the sun so much that their hair turned from dark brown to an almost dirty blonde, and their skin was almost as dark as their hair. As for my dad and I, we were white as sour cream other than our arms and legs as we enjoyed the beach in modesty from our deck. On top of the tan lines we both shared, we looked exactly alike. Both dirty blonde hair and same facial structure, but my dad was 6’2” with biceps the size of my head and I was just a 10 year old. We didn’t seem as upset about the move because we both had the interest of moving somewhere different. As we packed our things and said our goodbyes, I never thought about the deeper changes in my life that I would have to

Abraham Lincoln started all that before he was in office, so imagine what he did when he became president of the United States. When Lincoln was elected there was a long series of policy clashes between the South and the North. The clash wasn’t just about slavery. It was a clash of elites. The Northern elite wanted economic expansion. Such as, free land; free labor, free market, and much more. Lincoln had all of this in mind, even the slaves. The slaves saw Lincoln as their ticket to freedom. The South was for slavery, so when they notice Lincoln was trying to abolish slavery they started to secede from the union. Lincoln tried to get some of the states back and more seceded. The confederacy was formed; the civil war was on.

o Lincoln 's reputation as the great emancipator rests largely on his emancipation proclamation, an executive order which went into effect on January 1st, 1863. This order ostensibly freed all the slaves in territory currently rebelling against the United States, i.e. in areas where the US government had no authority to free slaves. This is rather like the United States announcing that, from here on out, North Korea would be ruled by Lady Gaga. Sure, it 's a great idea, but it 's not really your jurisdiction. In areas where the US did have the authority to free slaves--the border states and some of the areas of the Confederacy that had been effectively conquered and occupied by federal troops, those slaves were not freed. So Lincoln

The Civil War was one of America’s most brutal battles in history. Majority of which being white, male soldiers. Over the years, many historians have argued the actual involvement of blacks during the civil war era. Many claiming that they were doing nothing more than assisting the actual, white soldiers in combat such as, nurses, and wagon drivers, not actually picking up the gun and shooting alongside in battle. Most people look over the fact that almost ten percent, or 180,000, of the Union army were African American. Though a small fraction of the amount of total soldiers during the war, their involvement is still significant. These soldiers recruited and voluntarily, committing the same acts of bravery of any Caucasian solider, due to the prejudice against them, they were pushed to the back burner and treated with disrespect, virtually diminishing their extensive courageous acts. Nevertheless these soldiers made an impact in world changing war.

He wondered how someone who hated slavery could promise to protect it in all southern states. He wondered how someone who insisted that blacks were human could support racism. Why would he want to follow Lincoln?

A majority of southern slaveholders took part in sexual relations with their slaves because it was their property and they felt should be able to do whatever they wanted to do with it. This idea of the slaveholder was an evil example of the condition of slavery and how it was such a necessity that it be abolished. The total disrespect by slaveholders towards the slave families is overwhelmingly sinful. How could one person be so oblivious to the wickedness of their actions to their families of slaves by impregnating their women and separating them from each other? The shear absence of any respect for Africans or mankind in general, makes those certain slaveholders the worst humans on this earth.

Lincoln was always against slavery. He never thought of slaves as better than white Americans, but still thought they should be considered as equal to the law. Lincoln agreed with the founding fathers' phrase “All men are created equal,” which he also thought that it should have applied to black and white people. “The Declaration and the Constitution enshrined these rights: the right to ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’. In essence, to Lincoln this implied the right to be free, to enjoy the fruits of his labour, to have a family and to acquire property.”

Quite literally brothers had to fight brothers. This sort of warfare shook every solider, commander, and political leader down to their core as they gave the orders to, or actively engaged in combat. The average man who passionately watched the slave debates was now thrust into the combat, whether as a solider or a civilian in the crossfire. There is almost no other topic in the history of the United States that seeped down to every individual man 's lifestyle and became a focus mentally and in the warfare in the way slavery did. The average man 's point of view on slavery is shown in Michael Shaara 's The Killer Angels through soldiers who fought and died over this very ideal. This book 's perspective on the common viewpoint on slavery gives a deep insight on the people who didn 't belong to the political extremes, which is a topic left out in history a decent amount of the time due to a possible lack of relevance seen by instructors or authors. Through this book it becomes visible how every man has is own just cause for fighting in the war, as shown in Chamberlain 's speech that he gives to the soldiers that refused to fight wherein he states: "Some of [them] volunteered to fight for the Union. Some came in mainly because [they] were bored at home and this looked like it might be fun. Some came because [they] were ashamed not to. Many of [them] came because it was the right thing to do" (Shaara 29-30). Even with all these

Lincoln had been unenthusiastic to come to this position. Not only did he believe he had no legal right to

Living in Virginia, my family own about 30 black slaves and we have a wealthy living. Our slaves are our living based on how good our slaves plant and harvest the tobacco. Most of southerners around do not have the chance to see wealth. The labor system was a lot diffrent from the other English colonies so the contrast between rich and poor was greater. We work our slaves 12-15 hours every day before they go back in the cabin to make sure we have what we need. The slaves are our property and we don’t know where will be without them. When the slaves try to run, we hire a slave catch them to get them back over here. The only way we can keep them here is by keeping them in fear and using violence. As owners, we have to remind these slaves that

Lincoln states "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that." Lincoln was strictly for the Union and if he could save the Union and end slavery he would, but his first thoughts were for the Union, and only the Union. He deals with slavery in this manner because he does not want to upset or cause turmoil in the South. Even though the Civil War was going on, he wants it to end and the Union to be whole.

Slavery is morally and ethically wrong because it allowed a person to control every aspect of another person’s life. Slaves from every culture were limited on basic rights and were always told what to do, never having a chance to live their life the way they wanted to. The most horrible aspect to slavery was the fact humans treated other human like they were not. In the document “ The Regimen on a Tobacco Plantation”, a slave Charles Ball explained how slavery devalued people as people by saying, “ [slave owners] used me worse than they had a moral right to do, regarding me merely as an article of property, and not entitled to any rights as a man, political or civil.” (Digital History). A human being’s rights, freedoms, morals, opportunities,

The people who own slaves try to cover their wrongness with right by saying enslaving them is the only way the enslaved can be helped. For example, Athenians enslaved small cities controlled by Greeks in an effort to make the world a better place but in reality, they were truly only making the world a better place for only themselves. In a thought Athens one and only goal was the safety and protection of their own people. For the allies of the Greeks they were enslaved in an effort to protect and defend them from attackers. Athens was losing support because they only enslaved their allies not their people.

When Lincoln spoke to Congress in December of 1864, he enhanced the idea of freedom for all by saying, "In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom for the free…" He was fully aware that the Civil War would change the course of the future of the United States of America, and that his choices during the war would tip the scale towards continued democracy, or the death of it. He strongly believed that if the Confederacy were to win the war, and the American experiment in democracy were to fail, that the ‘beacon of hope for oppressed humanity the world over would be destroyed.'

secondly , I am of African decent, the slaves that was being killed, abused and mistreated could have been my great aunt, grandma, or uncle, it happened to them when it was illegal but now its happening to us illegally but legally if that makes any sense. On April 8 , 1984 abolishment of slavery was passed by the senates and on January 31, 1865 it was passed by the House, Those was the most historical moments if not to you then it sure is to me. Sadly in Saudi Arabia they are still practicing
