Bell ringer

Many historians have pointed out striking coincidences between the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Can you think of any?

Similarities between Kennedy and Lincoln

With Confederate troops growing more and more desperate, southerners began to talk of peace.

Lincoln sat down with Confederate leaders, but were unable to produce any results.

One reason for that is because Lincoln and Congress had passed the 13thAmendment and it was passed in December of 1865.

End is Near

It proclaimed the freedom of slaves in the ten states then in rebellion, thus applying to 3.1 million of the 4 million slaves in the U.S. at that time.

The Proclamation made abolition a central goal of the war (in addition to reunion)

The Emancipation Proclamation

The Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery in the United States.

Southerners were unwilling to accept a future without slavery.

Lincoln’s next top priority: bringing Confederate states back to the Union.

End is Near…

December 186513th Amendment is ratified

April 2nd, 1865General Robert E. Lee surrenders to Ulysses

S. Grant
