b) Advocate for the immediate and unconditional emancipation of all slaves, and push for legislation to ensure their rights and protection post-war.
c) Propose a plan to offer compensation to slave owners in exchange for the gradual emancipation of slaves, in order to ease the transition and promote reconciliation between the North and South.
