Answer:

As the Thirteenth Amendment prohibitted slavery, African Americans hoped to achieve civil rights and racial integration after the passage of it.

Explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution has officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude, the latter except as punishment for a crime. It was approved by the Senate on April 8, 1864, approved by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865 and formally adopted on December 6, 1865. It was then stated in the announcement of Secretary of State William Seward on December 18. It was the first of the Reconstruction amendments. The President of the United States at the time of the vote was Abraham Lincoln.

After the passing of the 13th Amendment of the Constitution, the African American community expected the following gains:

1. An end to legal Slavery, which did happen very quickly.

2. Many, for the first time, free of slavery could travel to meet loved ones and find jobs in other parts of the country.

3. An independent development of a thriving black culture, church, music etc.

However, the African American population were not able to win universal suffrage and still struggled for over a century with the problem of legalized segregation.

Why are some of President Lincoln’s ideas considered contradictory?

Liula [17]

Answer:

Some of President Lincoln's ideas have been considered contradictory because, during his presidency, he made many decisions that were different from what he had previously expressed on the subject.

Thus, for example, although during his discussions with Senator Douglas, Lincoln defended a gradual limitation to slavery in the country, he flatly refused to be abolitionist; but in 1863, through his Emancipation Proclamation, he abolished slavery in the territory of the United States.

To understand these contradictions, we must take into account the greatness of President Lincoln as president and as a human being. Without a doubt, it was a president who tried to maintain the unity of America as a nation, and made decisions that he did not ideologically share but understood necessary to maintain that union.
