The Emperor said that he was going to give a speech there but wouldn’t tell what[/b] [I]Today citizens, we are recognized as a nation of peace and leadership all over the world! I'm proud of my country and my king from being us to where we are! The world has recognized us and respects us as a country that could be something. But, other nations might have thought it’s a bad idea, because we haven’t free slaves. But today, [b]I here to tell you all that I support a bill that abolishes slavery and it’s called: The Golden Law[/b]. This law frees men, women, and child for working out in the fields all day and being beaten up so badly that they died. But, the beatings and the hard work for the slaves have to end. Now! I hope that other South American nations and other nations, that still has slaves gives them freedom soon.[/I] [b]People clapped and shouts of happiness began to roar as the Emperor was done speaking and he put his hand up in the air and waved as he left his balcony[/b] [I]~ Emperor Pedro II, King of Brazil[/I].
