“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”
-Abraham Lincoln.
As the civil war
rages on, the divided nation’s President wants to stop slavery. However, the only way he can is by doing two
things: Pass the thirteenth amendment to the US Constitution, (also known as The
Emancipation Proclamation), and claim the slaves as property seized through war
(thereby setting them free.) But, the war is coming to a halt before long, so
Lincoln is faced with a harsh decision; Stop the war and give up the hope of
abolishing slavery, or battle on to become a free nation?
