Here are this week’s discussion questions:
When the Union Army invaded the South in 1861 starting the Civil War, their motive was not to end slavery, according to President Abraham Lincoln. He said the War was about keeping the Union of states together. But, by 1863, the War had become about ending slavery. What events brought about that change and who convinced Lincoln that the goal of the War should be the end of slavery in the United States?
