Today we'll begin with a short look at Sullivan Ballou's letter to his wife prior to the Battle of Bull Run.
Then we'll work to trace Lincoln's ideas as they lead up to the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. We'll look at the documents that you annotated for today by following the questions listed in the Lincoln Worksheet 2 that we started in class yesterday. We'll look at the section The Higher Object from Ken Burns' Civil War documentary in order to help frame our look at the Emancipation Proclamation. If time, we'll explore Frederick Douglass' response to it by reading Men of Color to Arms and answering the questions about it.
