Lincolns struggles in the 13th Amendment
Lincoln faced many obstacles during his presidency while trying to pass the 13th amendment. He faced racism from the people in the house and resistance from his own cabinet. His cabinet, along with the other people were terrified of abolishing slavery because they believed Africans would have to much privileges. This amendment would give them the right to vote, own property, hold a job in office, rank higher in the military, and most importantly, steal the white peoples careers. Lincoln was doing all in his power to pass this amendment, honest Abe was not quite living up to his name. He lied by promising politicians jobs if they voted to pass the amendment. Another lie he told was that there was no peace commissioner left in the south to cancel this amendment, while there was a commissioner present in Richmond.
Lincoln's strategies to get this amendment passed were extremely risky. He could have been impeached due the bribery and lies said to politicians. Lincoln knew this would end the war at hand so he was trying even harder to pas this amendment. Lincoln was aiming for change, because he realized the emancipation proclamation could have been canceled due to no change in the constitution.

The Fall of Petoria
Peter starts his own country Petoria which is an authoritarian with a unitary system. He has special benefits with his diplomatic immunity. One is that he is the ruler of his nation and he can do whatever he wants within his boundaries.
Diplomatic immunity is the excemption from certain laws, rules, taxes, ect. An example is when he claims he doesnt have to pay for his drinks, draws graffiti and go on private property.
It all seems well but it leads to Peters downfall because he has no allies, an army , and other supplies. The griffins run out of gas, food and water. Their children are forced to he home schooled cause Petoria doesn't provide schools. This shows why not having a federal government can lead to downfall. The power is abused and it doesn't focus on the countries main necessities
