After a long thought process and debate, I have finally decided on a topic this week which has helped me understand what my goals are in the weeks to come. Now that I have focussed on what question I would like to answer for this research project which is, “What did African-Americans in the Washington, DC, area think of President Lincoln,” I feel as though I now know how to proceed. Having already found a lot of research on President Lincoln’s views on slavery, I think that it is time that I start looking for sources that answer the other question of what the slaves thought of President Lincoln and his generosity. The challenge is definitely finding enough information to support my question. This is why I have changed my question multiple times. My previous questions were extremely specific and in the end did not have enough information to back them up however, I think that this question will be broad enough to where I can find information to make my project the best that it can be.
