In August of 1862, Abraham Lincoln wrote these words in a letter to Horace Greeley "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that."

Instructions

A) POSTING: For this assignment, discuss the connection of slavery to the Civil War. How did northern war goals in relation to slavery change as the war progressed? What impact did the war have on slavery, and conversely, what impact did slavery have on the war? I am deliberately leaving this assignment open-ended to allow you flexibility to address whatever you think is significant AS LONG AS your posting addresses some aspect of slavery and the Civil War.

Your posting should be a minimum of THREE SUBSTANTIVE PARAGRAPHS (remember, a paragraph that is 1-2 sentences is NOT a substantive paragraph). You can also choose to be creative and use PowerPoint, YouTube, or any other kind of medium to convey your thoughts. But like with a traditional paragraph posting, you need to make sure that your creative posting comprehensively identifies and explains your chosen topic, as well as includes frequent references to the assigned reading (including the article How Slavery Really Ended, which must be incorporated into your answer).
