At the start of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln promised that he would not interfere with slavery in states that already allowed it. His only goal was to preserve the United States. As the war went on, however, Lincoln changed his mind. On January 1, 1863, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation. It freed the slaves in the South — and changed the Union's goals for the war. For this assignment, you will read a passage from the Emancipation Proclamation and then write about how the proclamation changed the Union's goals for the Civil War.

All persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward,
and forever free. (Emancipation Proclamation, January 1, 1863, National Archives and Records Administration).

the reform movements that arose during the antebellum period in america focused on specific issues: temperance, abolishing imprisonment for debt, pacifism, antislavery, abolishing capital punishment, amelioration of prison conditions (with prison's purpose reconceived as rehabilitation rather than punishment), the humane treatment of animals, the humane and just treatment of native americans, the establishment of public institutions for the care of the destitute, orphans, blind, and mentally ill, the establishment of public schools, the abolition of tobacco use, vegetarianism, health reform, homeopathic medicine, woman's rights (including, at first, especially the establishment of a woman's right to own property apart from her husband and her right to sue for divorce), and the amelioration of labor conditions (including higher pay, the right to form unions, the right to strike, and the demand for limits on the number of work hours, and safe working conditions).
