I would have ended the war then freed them

I would've done the same thing under the given circumstances. He pushed the amendment in just the right ways and areas to get the amendment passed. I would've directed away from bribery, trying to avoid bribery if I had to, but if it was the only way to pass the amendment I would come around to it. I feel as all people are equal and this amendment did what it needed to do make it this way.

I would have done what Lincoln did. I would have pushed for the amendment and gone to the lengths that he did to make sure that it was possible. As lincoln pushed for the amendment he risked a lot and in the end all those risks he took paid off when the 13th Amendment was passed. I would have done the same thing because everyone should be free, not made a slave just because they have a different skin color. If he had wanted until the end of the war then it would certain that the amendment wouldn't pass, meaning that slaves wouldn't be free, but since he didn't wait and pushed there is now no more slavery in the United States.

I would have made sure that the amendment passed, preferably without bribery. If bribery was needed, then I would have used it and any other means necessary.

I would push for the thirteenth amendment while also to atomic research in order to create the atomic bomb then I would drop like I don't know 80 of em on the south then I would blood eagle all survivors so no one will come to get revenge or something while also showing an example of my ruthlessness to those who may try to oppose me striking fear can help me get what I want faster I believe then I would try to economically improve so I could expand the U.S. piece by piece taking all power that could possibly oppose me making the United States the conqueror of the world which may suffice for our greed.

If I was the President at that time I would have done the same thing as Lincoln did. I think that the saves needed free because they don't deserve to be slaves just because they are black. Slavery needed to be gone from the start of the war and will be passed by the end of the war.

If I were president Lincoln I would have wanted to end the war quickly first. And then let the 13th Amendment pass through the house of Representatives when the Republicans would have the majority.

I would have done the same thing he did.

I would have pushed for the 13th amendment. The reason why I would have done this is because the longer the war went on the more people would die. If the 13th amendment got passed then it might end the war, or it would just end soon after. I would have gone to the lengths he did (Bribery, secrecy) because the amendment needed to be passed. After the passing of it we could continue the fight in the war until it ended, or hope the amendment ends it.

I would have made sure the amendment was passed, hopefully without the use of bribery and such. While ending the war is important, giving the people their freedom is more so. Ending slavery would be first on my list because ending a war can take a very long time. Getting the amendment passed first and then ending the war would be much easier anyway because the amendment's passing may help with the end of the war. With the amendment's passing ending the war could be swifter than if we tried to end the war first

If i were President Lincoln I personally go to most of the same lengths that the President did to try and get the amendment passed as soon as possible. If that meant bribing delegates from the democratic party to vote for it to pass so be it. Because if the war were to end before they could have presented the amendment it would not have passed. If the south where to send representatives up with

# data[].attributes.body
I would have fought for the 13th amendment just as he did.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I would have done the same as Lincoln. The reason why is because I would want the war to end as soon as possible instead of letting it drag out until everyone was dead. I would also want to take away the whole reason why the south was fighting. Lincoln, in my opinion, did the smartest choice there was to do. He wanted to make america a whole and make all people equal. no more war and no more slavery.

I would have done everything in my power to get the 13th Amendment passed. If the war would've ended sooner than expected, then the Amendment would not have passed because the people would be more focussed on recovering from the war. The best way to go about it is to bride some of the Democrats into voting for the Amendment. There are a few ways to sway them to vote yes. One way would be to give them more government positions and another would be with money. If there were representatives from the Confederacy to make peace, I would have delayed for as long as possible in order to get the Amendment passed.

I would have went the same lengths when it came to passing the 13th amendment.

I probably would have went to the same length if I was in his situation.

I would have went to the same lengths to pass the amendment rather than end the war because I myself would not trust that the amendment would eventually pass based on opinions that were given during the movie. Ending slavery also could have ended the war almost immediately. I do think bribery was almost necessary because I think more people had negative opinions than positive.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I would have done the same thing and going to the same lengths. I feel that it was not only for the war. It was more than just ending the war, it was also about the people and how their lives were. If you are going to go through that much trouble and all the years of fight for it, you aren't just going to give up. I would think that what lincoln was doing was the smartest thing to do.

If I would have been president Lincoln at the time, I would have gone the same lengths in immediately passing the 13th amendment by bribery and secrecy and everything else he did to make it happen because abolishing slavery would have most likely led to ending the war. I wouldn't have wanted to rely so much on the House of Representatives to just eventually pass the 13th amendment. Even going down the other path of just focusing on ending the war wouldn't have guaranteed the passage of the 13th amendment later on because all the time it would take to end the war could change the peoples minds about what they believed about slavery.

i would have went  the same lengths push even harder to make sure the amendment passed

If I were President Lincoln I think that I would have gone to the same lengths. I think what he did was the right decision and it was for the right reasons as well. This Amendment was a very important part of the war and getting it passed would have ended the war almost immediately. Bribing people was not really a terrible thing to do with what was on the line, I think it was more like persuading them to vote for the amendment. Ending the war and slavery was one of the main goal and passing the Amendment did it. I would have done whatever I could have to pass the amendment and end the war.

i would push for the 13 amendment

If I were president Lincoln, I would have gone to the lengths that he did to immediately pass the 13th amendment. I would not have trusted the house of representatives. Even though that the house of representatives was mostly republican, I still would not have leaned on them to make that big decision. I am the type of person who likes to get things done myself, I don't like to rely on people. Another point, is that even though the war would have been over quicker, if the house of representatives would have voted against the amendment, we would have had slaves for much longer than we did

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I would have went to the same lengths Lincoln did. I think that eventually it would have passed without the bribery and secrecy had it had a little more time.

# data[].attributes.body
I would have went to the same lengths or even greater lengths to ensure the amendment was passed. I believe that I would have tried even harder to end slavery and to end the war as quickly as possible before there were more lives lost. I do believe that all people should have the same rights no matter the color of their skin, so I would have been fighting for the rights of the African Americans. I would have most likely tried to split the difference and put an equal amount of effort to both the amendment and ending the war. I do also believe that the war would not have ended anytime soon from that time.

I think Lincoln's urgency to get the 13 amendment passed to end the Civil War was the right move as the abolition of slavery was already coming near. Even though the republican party agreed with Lincoln's decision to get this amendment quickly passed, there were many in congress opposed to it, with the urgency to end the war, I think the President was right to immediately pass the amendment

If you were President Lincoln, would you have gone to the lengths that he did (bribery, secrecy) to immediately pass the 13th Amendment? Or, would you have trusted that the Amendment would have eventually passed through the House of Representatives when the Republicans held the majority, and instead focus on bringing a quick end to the war?
