Background Information
The Battle of Gettysburg
The Battle of Gettysburg (1-3 July 1863) was a famous battle of the American Civil War. It involved more than 160,000 men and resulted in some of the heaviest losses of the war, on both sides.
The battle was a defeat for the South, and is now regarded by many as the turning point of the civil war, although its significance was not clear at the time; indeed, the great slaughter gave rise to doubt in some quarters about the wisdom of continuing the war.
Abraham Lincoln set the battle at the heart of his vision for Union victory when he delivered The Gettysburg Address, at the Dedication of the National Cemetery at the battlefield site in November 1863.

1 Organise your ideas by answering the questions.
What was the US like before slavery was abolished
How was it different afterwards
In what ways did the abolition of slavery help to break boundaries
2 Do research to find more evidence to support your ideas.
What was the US like before slavery was abolished
The US was divided into states in the North that prohibited slavery, and states in the South which allowed slavery and depended upon slavery economically. Slavery was a very cruel institution, and caused great human suffering in the states that permitted it. Reliance on slavery also made the South less technologically advanced than the North.
How was it different afterwards
Slaves were freed and were regarded as equal under the law, at least in theory. In practice, black Americans continued to suffer great discrimination in the South for the next hundred years, until the birth of the modern civil rights movement in the 1960s. The legacy of slavery continues to affect race relations in the US today.
In what ways did the abolition of slavery help to break boundaries
The abolition of slavery made former slaves and their former masters equal before the law. This was the first step towards true equality.
