Reconstructing the Nation acw_je_events.2

While the military fight has finished, the fight for the nation's soul has not. The … must rebuild itself after being split in two.

"I do not expect this nation to fall. Welcome or unwelcome, whether it becomes all one thing or all the other, this nation shall cease to be divided in body and soul."

The Nation, Reconstructed acw_je_events.3

Our nation has rebuilt itself, making something distinct, something new, and most importantly, something united.

"For all our faults, we have reforged our nation, and have built ourselves a government that shall not perish from this earth."

The Emancipation Proclamation acw_je_events.4

With the supporters of slavery in rebellion, we can issue a proclamation to free all slaves in rebellious territories. This is the first but most significant step in total abolition.

"By virtue of the power vested in me in this time of actual armed rebellion, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves henceforward shall be free. Upon this act, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God."
