Today we looked at the Civil War and what the strengths were of both sides. I also explained how the Emancipation Proclamation was more a gradual freeing of slaves and not an instant thing. It was a weapon of war however because as slaves were "confiscated" they were set free, often times joining the union army. It also gave more individuals in the North a moral reason to fight the war beyond just restoring the nation.
