Matt Fiamalua - question 2

Because when white people had problems with black people they say that black people should not be divided because of their skin color and because their also poor. President Lincoln had a comment that he said to the people ''a house divided itself cannot stand '',and that's how the people felt when slaves should be free and live happily but Lincoln emancipated them and the slaves celebrated and start dancing , eating , playing music but it didn't happen because now the slaves became illegal now and now they also weren't property anymore. White people say that they need to offer slaves to fight in the war which they are now part of the union military and that's how white people wanted more troops to fight and that they can win the union war . But many slaves were killed , missing , and were also captured but slaves still try their best fighting and also winning the war in union . Slaves now started to farm in South . But slaves try wanting to own a house and feed their children and keeping them safe and healthy but in the other hand slave parents also trying to educate their kids which they wanted to get their kids to school and learn and attend to a university so they can spend their time studying , reading , and writing by the time they get to school and start learning . But slaves got to school later on and they have to be separate with white people and not interact with them . President Lincoln now decided to emancipate the slaves and let slaves live free and so the union now spread the word to say 'Slaves End ''.
