Year+1860


 * December 21, 1860**

It has been one of the most joyous yet difficultly strident winters that I have ever faced in my life. Abraham Lincoln, no, now President Lincoln, has been elected as the sixteenth president of United States of America. I am very content with this, for I believe that he will be the president to fully conduct the abolition of slaves and emancipate blacks, once and for all.

But just yesterday, something horrible happened. South Carolina has fully conducted a secession from America, and there are rumors that Florida and Texas are thinking of cutting off their ties as well. James Russell Lowell and I are the founders of The Atlantic, a magazine of American voices. I am gotten contributions of essays and poems by Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and lots more on the slavery issue. We decry the causes of the secessionist movement and the complete institution of slavery. We try to spread the idea that slavery malicious and a complete fallacy.

"Civilization depends on morality", is what I wrote in my article of The Atlantic. America is the most prominent nation in the world, yet we are being undermined by the horrifying reality of slavery. We should be against the institution of slavery, not for them. And for that, I denounce the Southerners for trying to implement slavery upon their systems, and South Carolina for being a leader of the secession movement.
