Freed Slaves ADAM EL ZAILAA
HIS 172 SEC 10, 7721
T,TH 12­145

During the campaign for President in 1960, Lincoln showed his opposition to slavery and made it his goal to limit the spread of slavery towards the west into the territories America had gotten from Mexico. shortly after elected president, Lincoln announced the Emancipation
Proclamation which freed all slaves in the Confederacy and changed the war from a battle to preserve the Union into a battle for freedom. The Emancipation Proclamation was an important factor that showed the Union was fully supporting freedom of African Americans and the death of slavery in America. Lincoln’s long hard struggle for equality and end of slavery had a limited effect on slaves as well as the outcome of the civil war. before the death of slavery in America, negros witnessed a cruel life. their skin color was the reason they were entirely under the domination of caucasians. Howard Zinn proves my thesis by talking about the life of a slave prior to the war. “But can statistics record what it meant for families to be torn apart, when a master, for profit, sold a husband or a wife, a son or daughter...
The whippings, the punishments, were work disciplines” (Zinn Ch. 9).slaves were not only separated from their families, but also they were also physically abused. Their bodies and love for each other were continuously damaged in hopes of downing their spirits. all of this cruelty is related to the thesis because before the war slave negroes were presented as property. Even those who supposedly support the African American still regard them as a lower class beings.the abolitionist movement continued, “Blacks had to struggle constantly with the unconscious racism of white abolitionists” (Zinn Ch. 9). Negroes were denied the right to stay with their family and they were abused. Even those who supported their freedom still denied them complete equality.

    More than 150 years have passed since Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. His quest to prevent slavery from spreading into western U.S. Territories, which began as a political platform for his candidacy for President of United States continued as an ideological mission throughout his administration until his death. It should have ended a political career before it even started. Lincoln’s own evolution which led to an allegiance to a higher authority with respect to the morality of slavery went directly against every social, political, economic and constitutional norm of his day. His belief that every man is created equal under God which included slaves was an issue that divided a nation, precipitated one of the bloodiest civil wars and nearly destroyed a form of democratic government that the founding fathers had fought hard to create a century before Lincoln’s time.…

    One of the ironies of the Civil War era and the end of slavery in the United States has always been that the man who played the role of the Great Emancipator was so hugely mistrusted and so energetically vilified by the party of abolition. Abraham Lincoln, whatever his larger reputation as the liberator of two million black slaves, has never entirely shaken off the imputation that he was something of a half-heart about it. "There is a counter-legend of Lincoln," acknowledges historian Stephen B. Oates, "one shared ironically enough by many white southerners and certain black Americans of our time" who are convinced that Lincoln never intended to abolish slavery--that he "was a bigot...a white racist who championed segregation, opposed civil and political rights for black people" and "wanted them all thrown out of the country." That reputation is still linked to the 19th-century denunciations of Lincoln issued by the abolitionist vanguard.…

    These former slaves came to face with harsh reality that they were not socially equal to others despite the fact that they had gained the freedom. Furthermore, it is only few blacks who enjoyed the property rights. This depicts that the Civil War was characterized of intensive discrimination in the combats. From the start of the war, majority of the runaway slaves moved to the Union Army camps where they sought refuge. These runaway slaves believed that the Union camps were the best means of gaining freedom from the south, which was very oppressive (Murray 14).…

    During the late Nineteenth century, the United States of America was a war torn nation recently healing from the effects of a civil war. The northern states battled the southern states in what seemed as a never ending bloodshed over the rights and liberties of enslaved African Americans. In the end, blacks were freed from backbreaking slavery and where granted freedom as citizens of the United States of America, and through the 15th amendment were also given the right to vote. But despite the outcome of the American Civil War, there was one group however who metaphorically speaking was still enslaved, and remained enslaved to their fellow man for many years to come. This group was not being discriminated due to the color of their skin, but…

    During the late 18th Century, views on religion were beginning to change. While in previous generations, those who were educated were believers; society had advanced and developed a stronger focus in the arts and sciences, which caused roles to reverse. Those who were educated became nonbelievers, which resulted in a wave of new philosophy being written by the likes of Feuerbach, Marx, Nietzsche and Freud, arguing strictly against religion. To respond to these critics, theologians, beginning with Schleiermacher, adopted a form of the apologetics of immanetism.…
