Do you think Abraham Lincoln needed to wait for the Union Army to win a battle before issuing the Emancipation Proclamation?

History

zhenek [66]3 years ago
8 0
Abraham Lincoln didn’t have to wait for a Union Victory to issue the emancipation proclamation, at least, there was no law that said he needed to. But Lincoln felt he needed to for political reasons. He waited so it didn’t look like he was issuing it out of desperation. Since those in the north viewed the war as bringing the union back together not as a war against slavery it was simpler for Lincoln to simply call it a war against secession not slavery. Especially since the south didn’t really want to end slavery. But he felt that slavery had pretty much ended after the war so it was okay for him to draft the emancipation proclamation, but since the union army wasn’t doing so well at that time he waited so the North and his government didn’t look weak. When he issued it he did it so it looked like the right thing to do to free slaves and not in order to win the war.

dsp73

Answer:

Well, it depends on the person- But, I'll still answer.

Explanation:

Important things would be, what sort of history they are best at. Like say you were this Mr. Cheyney person. You would add if you major in like European history, or Egyptian history. So, your account would probably have things like that. Maybe you would add if you were good at handling different things. I'm not sure if he's a teacher-. But, say he was. He would most likely add, "Good with people, or children" So, it mostly depends on the person, and their interests.

Hope this helped, even a little?
