Question

Write a two- to three-sentence narrative that summarizes the Civil War, or some part of the Civil War, from the point of view of a Northern abolitionist. You don't have to write the narrative in a personal way, using "I" and "me," but try to emphasize the details of the war that a Northern abolitionist would be most interested in.

Answer 1

The Civil War saw the emancipation of enslaved people living in the American South, as the Union army fought to defeat the Confederacy and bring an end to the brutality of slavery. Abolitionists saw this conflict as an opportunity to secure freedom and justice for African Americans, and worked hard to ensure that the victory of the Union would result in a more equal society for all.
