Begin Document Analysis here:

Document:A
Facts:
1.Dissapointment by the reaction of most Cabinet member to his initial draft of the
Emancipation Proclamation in July 1862
a. Inference-The cabinet member opinion mattered to Lincoln and from this we can
infer that he wanted everyone to agree and come to an appropriate emancipation
proclamation.
2.African American is kneeling down and kissing Lincoln's hand.
a. Inference- The African American is thanking Lincoln for using his
executive power to legally emancipate slaves. From this we can infer that many slaves
were super thankful for Lincoln because for once there was somebody who did
something for slaves.
3. Lincoln's left hand is being kissed by an African American while the other hand is raised in the
air.
a. Inference- This represents the same thing as swearing to the bible.
Where he is morally responsible to free the slaves or at least to do his very best to
free slaves. From this we can infer that Lincoln was proud to be one of the first to fight
for slaves and he wanted everyone to know therefore he is raising his hand to take
responsibility for it.

Document:B
Facts:
1.broken eggs can not be mended
b. Inference-From this we can infer that he is implying this to our country when we
were divided, union and confederate states because at the time it was looking like we
were not going to become one any time soon.
2.I made the peremptory proclamation on what appeared to me a military necessity.
a. Inference- From this we can infer the Lincoln needed to have the Emancipation
Proclamation to continue because without it military can't continue.
3. I believe you can be my personal witness that no man is less to be dreaded for undue
severity, in any case.
a. Inference- From this we can infer that Lincoln came to a sense that everyone
should be treated equal and have equal rights no matter their race, wealthiness, gender,
religion or anything else because we are all humans.

Document:C
Facts:
1.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
c. Inference- from this we can infer that Lincoln didn't really care about slaves as
much as some of us think because he said the only reason why he's freeing slaves is to
save the union and not exactly for moral reasons.
2.Lincoln's beliefs in slavery were mixed. On the one hand, Lincoln had a strong belief in
personal freedom and spoke of the monstrous injustice of slavery As he campaigned to be
president, however ,he did not adapt an abolitionist policy
b. Inference- from this we can infer that Lincoln used freeing slaves kind of like a
way to win his spot as president.
3. Frederick Douglass, an african american aide to Lincoln during the Civil War, complemented
Lincoln by saying In all my interviews with Mr.Lincoln I was impressed with his entire freedom
from prejudice against the colored race
b. Inference- From this we can infer the although Lincoln's mind wasn't really set on
freeing slaves to begin with he was still a good person that was against slavery.

Document:D
Facts:
1. Congress and the president made a piece of legislation that said anyone who helped with the
anti-slavery initiatives would get financial aid from the government.

as they were providing to the people helping out. Being able to further the anti slave
trade was important to him.
2.But the loss only made Lincoln more determined.
c. Inference- From this we can infer the Lincoln would go to extremes for our
country, he wa a very good perso/president that didn't agree with slavery.
3. It represents a milestone for Lincoln in his effort to insert an antislavery agenda in the war
previous to the union.
c. Inference-From this we can infer that Lincoln now was fighting the war to free
slaves and not only to keep the union together.

Document:E
Facts:
1.I can see that time coming; whoever can wait for it, will see it as whoever stands in its way,
will likely be run over by it.
e. Inference-From this we can infer that Lincoln is saying the end of slavery is
inevitable, and whoever opposes it will suffer the consequences needed.
2.Well said he, I have never done an official act with a view to promote my own personal
aggrandizement and I don't like to begin now.
d. Inference- Lincoln mostly put the country before him as he was a humble man.
3.
d. Inference-
Document:F
Facts:
1.Was it possible to lose the nation and yet preserve the constitution?
f. Inference- From this we can infer Lincoln is trying to say it doesn't matter is we
lose the nation or the constitution because neither are possible to preserve at the same
time, although he did try.
2. I am naturally anti slavery, is slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong
e. Inference- Lincoln believed so strongly in getting rid of slavery he said is slavery
isn't wrong nothing is wrong to try to change slaver owners minds and soon hopefully
free slaves.
3. I made earnest,and successive appeals to the border states to favor compensated
emancipation, I believe the indispensable necessity for military emancipation, and the arming
the black would come, unless averted by the measure.
e. Inference- from this you can infer that Lincoln cared what border states had to
say, trying to impress them so they wouldn't go to the confederate side.
Movie
1. People that didn't agree with slavery were still opposed to the amendment because of what
the 4 million slaves would become when they were freed.
m. Inference- Slavery was a thing for so long that no one knew how black people would
react or what they would do when they were freed. Slaves could have had a small fear that
would kill previous owners
2. Lincoln's belief in fairness and equality is very strong
m. Inference- from this we can infer that Lincoln knew slavery wasn't morally right and it
wasn't fair to the African Americans. Although some at the time would say it was fair because
they are property but they weren't they were also humans that deserved rights.
3.Slavery troubled me as long as I could remember
m. Inference- we can infer that Lincoln never liked slavery as it had always troubled him,
for example when he became president he became president of a divided country and the
reason for that was slavery.

Grabber 1: Living as a slave was very hard. Some slave owners would give slaves homes and
other slaves would have to make their own with very little materials that they had.Sometimes
they were given pots and pans for cooking, but more often they had to make their own. As soon
as Abraham Lincoln announced his running for presidency and how he believed slavery was
wrong slaves got more excited. Lincoln had always believed slavery was wrong and he was
willing to help slaves and help them become free.

God cannot long retain it. A very well known quote said by our 16th president of the United

Begin Essay here: Please follow model below

First of all, Abraham Lincoln strongest argument for being against slavery was
moriarty and he always saw slaves as humans who deserve the same rights as others. In
the movie Lincoln, he said I never considered slaves as property Also in document F it says,
if slavery isn't wrong then nothing is wrong, and in the movie Lincoln said, Slavery troubled me
as long as I could remember. From these three pieces of evidence we can infer that
Lincoln's strongest argument against slavery was because of moral reasons and he
wanted everyone to be equal in terms of human rights. Lincoln believed so strongly in
getting rid of slavery he said if slavery isn't wrong nothing is wrong to try to change
slave owners minds and soon hopefully free slaves but not only that, he also said it
because he never liked slavery as it had always troubled him, for example when he
became president he became president of a divided country and the reason for that was
slavery, one side wanted it and the other side did not. His strongest argument for ending
slavery was because morality and one of the reasons why he thought it was morally wrong is
because he wanted everyone to be equal.
Another reason why Abraham Lincoln strongest argument to end slavery was
because he pushed for legal documents while he was in presidency. In document A it says
Disappointment by the reaction of most Cabinet member to his initial draft of the Emancipation
Proclamation in July 1862 Also in document d it said Congress and the president made a
piece of legislation that said anyone who helped with the anti-slavery initiatives would get
financial aid from the government. and in the movie it said that the 13th amendment was
passed. Once Lincoln became president more people started to see slavery as a bad thing and
that it was morally wrong therefore them and Lincoln pushed for the 13th amendment to be
passed, and as a result it was. Lincoln also believed that anti-slavery initiatives were worth
enough money as they were providing to the people helping out. Being able to further the
anti slave trade was important to him. Therefore he said initiatives would get financial
aid from the government.(Doc D) Lastly, the cabinet members opinion seemed to matter
to Lincoln and from this we can infer that he wanted everyone to agree and come to an
appropriate emancipation proclamation for the country. Lincoln pushed for legal documents
to end slavery because of moral beliefs.
Lastly, moral beliefs was Lincoln's strongest argument for ending slavery because
took multiple risks to abolish it. But the loss only made Lincoln more determined. (Doc G)
and said in the movie He made the war longer even when his son was fighting. From these
two pieces of evidence we can say that Lincoln would go to extremes for our country, he
was a very good person/president that didn't agree with slavery. Also because he keeped
the war longer while his son was fighting we can infer that his belief in freeing slaves
was very strong that he took the risk of losing his son, and after all his all time goal was
to end slavery once and forall. Lincoln took multiple risks but all to end slavery because he
knew that it was morally wrong.
 There was on one document where it said 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 (Doc C)From this we can
infer that maybe Lincoln wasn't always 100% against slavery. Maybe even we can infer
that Lincoln didn't really care about slaves as much as some of us think because he said
the only reason why he's freeing slaves is to save the union and not exactly for moral
reasons. But if that were the reason why would he push for legal documents, take big
risks, and push for ending slavery.
Lincoln's strongest argument on ending slavery was because of his moral beliefs.
LIncoln wanted equality for all, meaning ending slavery, he also pushed for legal document to
be passed such as the 13th amendment and the emancipation proclamation, and lastly he took
multiple risk one even to lose his son. Lincoln had seen slavery as something morally wrong
and was one of the first president to actually do something about it, but if other presidents
thought it was morally wrong too then why did they not try as hard as Lincoln to get rid of it?
