2) How did the Emancipation Proclamation open the door for black soldiers? 3) Did the Emancipation Proclamation free all slaves within the United States?
4) What did Lincoln write that this act was warranted by?
5) What United States groups does he say will recognize and help to maintain the freedom of
slaves?
6) Do you believe that Lincoln possessed the power to free the slaves in the seceded states?
Why or why not?

2. The Emancipation Proclamation open the door for black soldiers so they joined the Army and allow them to be free.

3. Only the slaves states in rebellion were freed.

4. Lincoln says the war is warranted by the fact that he see a fit and necessary war.

5. The United States group that is going to help is the executive government and US military.

6. I think Lincoln had the power to do what he did because when in war you can take property and slaves are property

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40     distribute/multiply - into (2a + 7)

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

1 - 2a = a + 40       add 2a on both sides

1 = 3a + 40         subtract 40 on both sides

-39 = 3a       divide 3 on both sides

-13 = a

[proof]

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40

8 - (2(-13) + 7) = -13 + 40

8 - (-26 + 7) = 27

8 - (-19) = 27

8 + 19 = 27

27 = 27
