How did the Gettysburg address and the Emancipation Proclamation change the focus and people’s perspective of the Civil War? Question 2 options:

It made the war strictly about secession and holding the Union together.

They gave the North a moral high ground by freeing the slaves and fighting for the sake of preserving freedom and democracy.

These documents redefined America's government structure for when the war ends.

They made the Union focus their efforts on an offensive strategy to bring a quick end to the war.

I believe it’s number 2

Explanation:

Before the Gettysburg Address and the emancipation proclamation, the war was simply about the South’s succession from the Union. This address gave the war another purpose...freeing slaves. This obviously outraged the south as many of them were slave owners and their way of life depended on slaves. Slave ownership is disgusting to us now, but back then it wasn’t. When Europeans came to the Americas, they even had to come up with a reason to disregard their religion to use slaves, which led to the idea that those with darker colored skin were somehow lesser than those with lighter skin. This is also interesting since until the Portuguese started their trading post empire in the Indian Ocean, and Europe started colonizing the Americas, Europeans were behind the rest of the world economically. The Colombian exchange set into motion this entire idea that darker skin was worse than lighter skin. Anyway, sorry for the history lesson!

Thank you AP World, and thank you Heimler’s History!

overtime, the civil rights movement changed in a way that not only it benefited african-americans, but benefited other ethnicity's such as latinos, asians, or women too! that's why the results of the movement be called mixed.

the civil rights movement brought about tremendous changes. no longer were blacks denied the right to vote, to eat, shop, and swim where they , and more importantly, to attend integrated schools. despite its many accomplishments, however, the civil rights movement had its shortcomings. for example, many people, both young and old, lost their lives, homes, jobs, and families. still other individuals were so damaged by psychological trauma that they ceased being productive members of the community. the movement left intact the economic inequities that had contributed to the maintenance of segregation. and finally, racism remained alive and well long after the movement's end. like most movements of its kind, the civil rights movement left behind a mixed legacy of triumph and tragedy.

what are the options?
