Narrative Life Of Frederick Douglass, Sullivan Ballou Letter, Gettysburg Address

Today I am going to talk about The civil war. There are three stories that i am going to talk about. The stories that I am going to talk about are the Narrative life of Frederick Douglass,Sullivan Ballou Letter, Gettysburg Address. The first story talk about a slave that was free after the civil war. The second story talk about a officer that was i the union army. The last stories talk about a speech that a president told. The civil war redefine what it meant to be an American, because it talks about rights that the slaves did not have and how they were treated back then in the civil war. All men were created equal but did not have the same rights.

Frederick Douglass was an American slave that was freed after the civil war. When he was freed he did not get the equal rights that the white people. He was about twelve years old when he thought that he was going to be a slave all his life. When he was freed he was not still equal with the others, he was not able to learn to read and write. He learned to read because he had a book that he will carry with him all the time.
He wrote a Letter to his wife and in that letter that he wrote to his wife talk about how it was like in the civil war. It that letter he said that if I don't make it back from this war then I would be waiting up here in heaven. As a result he wrote this in his letter. He said Sarah my love for you it is deathless it seems to bind me to you. For expulsion he loved his wife so he wrote this letter to tell her how much he loved her. And in concluding he died for his country and he will not die in
