The first thing that I would have done, is have the men check how deep the water was! Even though the men might have died, I would have made them swim through the water. Although, that is what the men were there for, to fight.

I would tell men to check how deep the creek was. I would then tell a group of men to circle wide and to the left or right and flank the enemy from behind or flank perpindicular to them. I would also use cannons to destroy cover and make the enemy retreat.

I wouldn't have wrapped a copy around cigars. I would've hidden it somewhere safe where I could remember it was. Procrastinate means to put things off until the last minute.

I would have used only one man who could swim to test how deep the river was. Even if the man wasn't able to swim, I wouldn't be killing as many men. The men who were short, if any, would have to be carried by the taller men.

The word "emancipation" means to free something. The word "proclamation" means an official announcement. Together, the words mean "an official announcement to free slaves" since that's what President Lincoln wanted.
