Imagine you are the President of the United States during the Civil War and you are faced with fixing
the issue of slavery in your country. You have to write a document that talks about how you are going
to end slavery, similar to President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation or the Gettysburg Address. In
a short paragraph of about 4 sentences, what would you say?

Be sure to refer to the notes on the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address for
reference. Also keep in mind how the Southern States may react negatively to your Emancipation
Proclamation or Gettysburg Address since they want to keep slavery and losing their slaves would be
bad for their economy.

Hey the answer is the politics of the southern united states generally refers to the political landscape of the southern united states. due to the region's unique cultural and historical heritage, including slavery, the south has been involved in many political issues. some of these issues include states' rights, reconstruction, the civil rights movement and social conservatism. from the 1870s to the 1960s, the region was referred to as the solid south, due to their consistent support for democrats in all elective offices. as a result, its congressmen gained seniority across many terms, thus enabling them to control many congressional committees. in presidential politics, the south began to move away from national democratic loyalties with the dixiecrat movement of 1948 and the barry goldwater presidential campaign of 1964. among white southerners, democratic loyalties first fell away at the presidential level, followed much later at the state and local levels.
