 * __Freed Slaves__**

African American Slaves influenced the Civil War not only by serving but also by being one of the causes. There were many arguments over slaves, it even cause some states to seccede from the Union. This put a lot of stress on Lincoln, he had to try to bring the Union back together. They delt with the issue of slavery with war, this war was the Civil War.Before the war many slaves started rebelling against their owners and the government, trying to gain their freedom.
 * __Introduction__**

__**Paragraph l**__ Dred Scott is a very well know slave. He sued for his freedom since he lived in a free state. The Constitution refered to slaves as property. Also he was not yet known as a citizen so they said he couldnt go to court. Most of the court ruled against him, and he lost his case. (Dred Scott) This is important because Dred Scott wasnt afraid to stand up for himself. He inspired many slaves to do the same. In 1849 Harriet Tubman was freed and she started the Underground Railroad. She became one of the most famous slaves in history. Over the years she helped many slaves reach freedom. (Harriet Tubman) Harriet Tubman was important to American history because she helped free many slaves during the time of the Civil War. Nat Turner was in charge of one of the most recognized slave rebellions. Though he was killed he is still very well know to this day. The Virginians were upset about this rebellion and made the slave rules stricter. (Nat Turners rebellion) This woke up many Americans. Many slaves followed Nat Turner and began rebelling against their owners.

The Emancipation Proclamation was the first thing that tried freeing slaves but it was never truly enforced.The Proclamation made slaves in all of the states free. The south was outraged because they would no longer have slaves to work on their large plantations. (The Proclamation) The proclamation was important because it was supposed to free slaves in every state but was never enforced so that led to the 13th admendment. During this time many Southern state began to suceed because of the issue of slavery. Lincoln finally gave slaves their freedom which made the south furious. This was what started the Civil War. (Lincoln declares slaves free) This was very important because it began The American Civil War. The north and south fought against each other and the outcome was that all slaves were freed. Lincoln didn't know if he had the right to abolish slavery. He wanted the war to end and he knew that if the South didn't have their slaves they would be less powerful and would be easier to defeat. He decided he would free the saves from the South even though it would upset many. (The Emancipatiion Proclamation) This was important because Lincoln had to make a huge decision, which he is greatly known for today. After the Emancipation Proclamation came the new admendments. The 13th admendment was the admendment in the bill of rights that freed all slaves, and abolished slavery. This upset many southerners and plantation owners. (The 13th Admendment) The thirteenth admendment was what i think was one of the most important to history. It freed slaves all over the United States. Slaves were freed but many people didnt treat them with kindness and they were still denyed the right to vote. Then the 14th and 15th admendments passed which gave them citizenship and the right to vote. Thought they were given the right to vote many states still wouldnt let them, so the Voting Rights Act was passed. (Slaves gaining citizenship and the right to vote) This changed America forever. African Americans were freed and also given the right to vote. This changed the way of life for many people.
 * __Paragraph ll__**

Slaves were also freed before the admendments if they served in the war, but some didnt even have a choice.The goverment didnt know what they should do with the slaves thay had escaped from their owners. Some they put in the army and others they tried to find their owners. If the slaves helped them in any way with the army or anything with the confederacy they would could be free. (Slaves in the army) This was the start of the slaves being freed. Which soon led to more and more slaves being freed; which led to slavery being abolished. After the Civil War many blacks were freed. They also earned their citizenship from the 15th admendment. Though they were free and were citizens many whites did not respect them. They were spit on yelled at and not allowed to be in some of the same places as whites. (Slaves after the war) This was important because, many slaves were mistreated even after they were freed. This led to one of the most famous speeches by Martin Luther King Jr. and many other events.
 * __Paragraph lll__**

The Civil War was violent but there was a good outcome. Slaves were freed and given full citizenship. They made there way up and edjucated themselves at public schools. People learned to respect them and they were even given the right to vote.
