If I were elected president before slavery was abolished I would probably been beaten by every white person in the world. I would've been killed as soon as I announced my running for candidacy. If I wasn't killed the four issues I would work to resolve would be slavery,segregation,taxes,and the death of the Klu Klux Klan. I would work my hardest to get slavery abolished. I probably wouldn't have thought of making an amendment, but a law of some sort. The law would've stated “any person who has a slave from this point on or mistreats any person of any race religion and class will get a mandatory 40 lashes and will go to federal prison for 3 years”.
Segregation would be easy to rid of. I would have white people respect and get used to black people by having them in the same restaurants,bathrooms etc. They would also live in the same neighborhoods
and schools. This would lead to black people not living in the projects thus leading to black people knowing how to act right and being respected and appreciated by all races.
The other two laws would upset a lot of white people so the klu klux klan would probably rebel to an even further extent. I would hire all black police officers and make all judges black. I would give the officers full permission to kill any person who is a member of this colt known as the K.K.K. The taxes would be a lot lower for all people. I only would give blacks special treatment until we are respected as a people. Once that has happened then all the special laws for blacks would be abolished until further notice.
