“If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.”

Lincoln has never said he would abolish slavery or end it. He just would not further expand it, slavery would stay in the states that already has it established.  Lincoln is saying this because he is trying to persuade the southerners that he is not against their way of life as slaveholders, but is more concerned with a united union. This shows that Lincoln has no intention of destroying the south because he says in the first line to save the union whichever way he can. Its more about saving the union than it is dealing with the issue of slavery.

"I never saw my mother, to know her as such, more than four or five times in my life; and each of these times was very short in duration, and at night." Slavery has affected most slaves and had families separated messing up lives and futures. People born into slavery or put into slavery will live under control of slave advocates who are mistreating and not properly taking care of slaves. Slavery is not a good thing and has been made to be such a good thing just for pro-slavery owners to live an easier life.

This post was made by a pro-slavery advocate and made to seem like slaves are not smart or independent enough to be on their own. The poor language used by the African American in the cartoon shows that southerners have no care about the union and just want their rights to have slaves.

“We are Abolitionists from the North, come to take and release your slaves; our organization is large, and must succeed. I suffered much in Kansas, and expect to suffer here, in the cause of human freedom. Slaveholders I regard as robbers and murderers; and I have sworn to abolish slavery and liberate my fellow men.” The south feels that the Northern abolitionists are very aggressive with their rebellion. In document 1 of John Brown, John Brown is labeled as the first American terrorist. This was because he has killed many pro-slavery advocates.  Southerners call him a terrorist because they say terrorists attack anyone and damage anything causing chaos without a care in the world. this is not true because John Brown targeted certain people that were pro-slavery advocates. He is reacting for the people who cannot stand up for themselves and do the same, this is his version of rebellion of slavery.

In this cartoon on the left is written by a pro-slavery American and the first image shows African Americans well taken care of and living happily with their pro-slavery advocates. Oppose to the second image which portrays British factory workers in poverty and not well. The pro-slavery advocates will persuade the US to think that slaves are living in good conditions and treated with respect. This evidence in the South persuading that slaves are treated well is not true. The south depends on slavery so much they will tell lies to keep their rights.
