Please answer the following questions fully, using complete sentences and your b

Please answer the following questions fully, using complete sentences and your best prose. Be sure to back up your answers thoroughly with information from the Backstory podcast, “Henceforth Free: The Emancipation Proclamation” and your textbook American Yawp.
“Henceforth Free”
There are no word number requirements, but a thorough answer will consist of at least one full paragraph (8-9 sentences) for each question. When using material from one of these sources, try to paraphrase it (put it in your own words), but if you do use direct quotes, be sure to place them in quotation marks. In other words, DO NOT SIMPLY CUT AND PASTE PASSAGES FROM THE TRANSCRIPT. Passing off words of others as your own is plagiarism, and will be reported to the MSU Honor Code Office.

Important: if you choose to use sources other than the podcast or textbook, you must cite them properly according to Chicago Manual of Style protocol, which you can find here. https://guides.library.msstate.edu/citationguides/chicago

This assignment will be submitted through “Turnitin,” which will identify and any unattributed or plagiarized material. Any incidents of unattributed material from outside sources or using the identical text as another student will be considered plagiarism and turned into the MSU Honor Code office.

1) In what ways was the Emancipation Proclamation a war measure? How does historian Michael Vorenburg explain the ways in which this limited what Lincoln could expect the proclamation to achieve?
2) Lincoln is often criticized for pushing for a colonization program at the same time he was advocating black emancipation. How do the hosts of Backstory contextualize Lincoln’s outlook?
3) This podcast features a caller who refers to the Emancipation Proclamation as having been “Lincolnized.” What does he mean by that? Why has the narrative of emancipation focused on Lincoln for so long and in what ways are historians and others doing to change it? How do they suggest we reimagine the process of emancipation? Be sure to use several examples given in the podcast.
