I agree that slavery should have been abolished and that it was the right of every black man and woman to fight for their own freedom. I disagree with the Southerners who were cruel and kept slaves. It is <u>very</u> important that we remember our roots and that we don't make the same mistakes as the ones before us. As a proud American, I can say that I will stand for this country and protect the liberties of every man and woman. I believe that war was necessary for our country to realize the true meaning of freedom and that every soldier fighting to abolish slavery will not be forgotten.
