The colonist felt that their interests were no longer represented by the British government and moved to break away from British rule. An example of the division between the colonist and England is the Proclamation of 1763 which forbade colonist from settling land west of the Appalachians (Proclamation of 1763). The colonist believed that the land should be opened to settlement (cheap land was needed for a growing population), but England wanted to prevent conflict between natives and colonist. England's policy was interpreted as a prioritization of natives over colonists.

This is not to be confused with the dissolving of an actual band or ring in the fires of Mordor.

Use the below sources: video, website, and essay to gather information on both of the Emancipation Proclamations. Once you have gathered information, read through each document once and then go back and annotate one part of each document. You should have two annotations when complete.

Questions that can be answered with annotations:

●Which Republican goals were served by each paragraph?

● Why is the president authorized to do this?

● What should the President have replied to critics who warned him that this document would 1) anger the border states or southern unionists, and 2) undermine prosecution of the war?

●What differences are there in the two documents?
