Last class we read a speech from Abraham Lincoln and had to answer questions on it. The speech was about Liberty to all, and freeing the slaves. Then we looked at the Declaration of Independence and saw how it said that all people were created equal so their should be no slaves; and connected it to Abe. Today we looked at South Carolina and read how they justified their secession from the union. Then how they looked at slavery and how the government was threatening to end it.
