Issues of Resolving Slavery

Slavery is not an issue which one can resolve easily. Instead of it taking one law dictating everyone to show equal respect to men of all color, it will take more of a transition. There was the emancipation proclamation, Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan, etc. Although after these were issued, there were still going to be areas of discrimination. In Louisiana, the New Orleans Tribune demanded suffrage for the former slaves, so that they could be created equal. When such an issue as universal suffrage was resolved, that meant that the problems of slavery and discrimination would finally be resolved.
