I nee hel Directions:

Imagine you are the President of the United States during the Civil War and you are faced with fixing
the issue of slavery in your country. You have to write a document that talks about how you are going
to end slavery, similar to President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation or the Gettysburg Address. In
a short paragraph of about 4 sentences, what would you say?

Be sure to refer to the notes on the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address for
reference. Also keep in mind how the Southern States may react negatively to your Emancipation
Proclamation or Gettysburg Address since they want to keep slavery and losing their slaves would be
bad for their economy.
