Why I Learned From The Proclamation

He taught me that arabs do not believe in killing themselves or others. Just like in the Christian bible. Anyone who does these things will be punished in whatever is after life. He also taught me how much women are respected and honored. Women don't cover because they are forced to cover, they cover to show respect their husbands.

The Declaration of Independence is one of the most remarkable documents of the United States of America. The elaborate document contains almost fourteen-hundred words including a basic structure divided into two parts and within the two divided parts contains four main ideas within seven components. The declaration is not just any standard written document; it is a work of art painted by colonists who are driven by rage because of King George III of Great Britain injustices’ toward the colonies. This exemplifies that colonists took control and took part in creating the Declaration of Independence by voicing their opinions, hoping to acquire the freedom they deserve, “through time, to come together in one place, in one time, and in one

The Proclamation of 1763 was a very important treaty. It was issued October 7, 1763, by King George iii. The proclamations main purpose was it appointed the rivers going into into the Atlantic from the Appalachians as the temporary boundary for colonial settlement. The main purpose of what the proclamation did was it was a boundary so all settlements are forbidden and they can’t go past the line drawn along the Appalachian mountains. The people had expected that the Proclamation would prevent clashes by forbidding colonists to move onto Indian lands until cessions had been negotiated. That made the two groups of colonists furious and extremely mad. The types of people who were furious were people who had already been living west of the Appalachians

With the Civil War in full swing in 1863, President Lincoln was grappling with a nation divided. Long-standing racial turmoils had finally boiled over in 1861 with the battle of Fort Sumter. The country had been thrown headfirst into bloody battles, culminating most recently with the infamous Battle of Antietam. Antietam allowed the president to issue the most important document of his career with a narrow Union “victory”and an attempt to boost low spirits. As a result, the North secured an advantage when Lincoln announced his intent to free all Confederate slaves with the shocking Emancipation Proclamation. Determined on securing and protecting the Union, Lincoln took a pragmatic approach in issuing the controversial document. A defining moment in American history, it is essential to investigates the reasons and acts leading up to it, the responses it elicited from the nation and the world, and its effects on the country.

1) What is the Emancipation Proclamation? When is Baldwin’s letter written and what is the significance of the timing of his letter (specifically: what is the situation of African Americans at the time Baldwin wrote the letter?)

The speech “What to a Slave is the Fourth of July?” was spoken, by Frederick Douglas, to the supporters and abolitionists at the Rochester Ladies Anti-Slavery Society of Fourth of July. In his speech Frederick Douglas speaks heavily on the subject of abolitioning slavery. Frederick Douglas provides comparisons and analogies, appeals to the audience 's logic, and appeals to the audience’s emotion in order to convince the audience to more vigorously fight for the abolition of slavery.

Part II: Beginning with what occurred during my reading of the essay as it became apparent that the majority of statements struck home as truths within my

During the Civil War President Lincoln announced freeing all enslaved people in the confederate state. As this happened about 4 million people were freed and guaranteed to be treated like whites were treated. The Emancipation Proclamation didn't free any slaves in the Union states, but it was a good step to abolish slavery. Lincoln hoped that the he could win the Union side. He also hoped it would weaken the Confederacy's effort in the war. The Proclamation announced that black men can fight as a soldier in the war. By the end of the war, almost 200,000 black soldiers and sailors had fought for the Union and freedom.

Lincoln released the Emancipation Proclamation at a pivotal moment in the war; thus, marking the first significant movement that was widely recognized as the beginning of the end of slavery. In September of 1862, after the Battle at Antietam and the Union’s victory, President Lincoln cleverly issued a statement declaring that the rebellious states, Delaware, Kentucky Missouri, and Maryland, would have to return to the Union by January 1, 1863 or freedom would be granted to the slaves of those states. President Lincoln’s timing in delivering his preliminary proclamation guaranteed that the Emancipation Proclamation would positively influence the Union’s efforts. Not one of the four confederate states complied with President Lincoln’s terms.

The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order. I think it was very important for Lincoln to start off by identifying himself as the President of the United States before he begins to say anything else. Adding on to that fact he also states he is Commander in Chief to really stress upon that the Emancipation Proclamation was going to try restore the relations with the Union and the Confederate States. He try's to compensate with the Confederate and basically says 'I will not free the slaves from any state that will come back to the Union." But in this case none of them did. So he compensated emancipation for the slave owners willing to sell their slaves to the government.

At the battle of Antietam, their wasn't a clear winner, but the North did take it as a win considereing they had a larger army. Since the North thought of this as a victory, Abraham Lincoln decided to realease the Emmancipation proclamation. The Emmancipation proclamation stated that all slaves in the south were free, many southerners were very upset by this. In the article it states, "They say Lincoln is not their leader and therefor he cannot wield power over them. He certainly cannot institute freeing their slaves. Sincde many the release of the Emmancipation proclamation, the Civil War began to be more about ending slavery rather than about

The Emancipation Proclamation consists of two executive orders issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. The first one, issued September 22, 1862, declared the freedom of all slaves in any state of the Confederate States of America that did not return to Union control by January 1, 1863. The second order, issued January 1, 1863, named ten specific states where it would apply. Lincoln issued the Executive Order by his authority as "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" under Article II, section 2 of the United States Constitution. Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free all the slaves, but it kept critical border states from seceding and it

The Mayflower Compact of 1620, a document based on the Magna Carta of 1215, established what would be the basic laws and morals for the first American Colonists. Colonists were then subjects of the British Monarchy, and expansion to The Americas was beneficial to England’s fast growing empire. The eventual expansion of the thirteen colonies (classified as the Northern, the Middle, and the Southern Colonies) allowed English expansion of trade. However, in 1770, Colonists revolted against England in a sequence of deliberate acts, such as the Tea Act and the Stamp Act, mainly involving unnecessary taxation of Colonists. Rising tensions eventually resulted in a Revolutionary War between England and the Colonies; The Thirteen Colonies won the war. It was the Treaty of Paris (1783) that finally ended all ties with Britain; America would claim its identity as its own.

On April 26, 1852 the South Carolina State, justified its intentions to secede from the United States due to the increased violations of the Constitution by the Federal Government as well as its limitation on the reservation rights within the States. In 1860 after Abraham Lincoln election the South thought that the government was becoming too powerful, which led South Carolina to secede as the first state from the United States Union. However, remaining as part of the United States would be the best resolution for South Carolina.

I learned there are many different ways to counsel. The main thing I learned was that Scripture is superior to anything
