The correct answer is B) stop Southern soldiers from selling captured African American soldiers.

What Mrs. Johnson wanted Lincoln to do was to stop Southern soldiers from selling captured African American soldiers.

We are talking about the letter that Hannah Johnson -the mother of an African American soldier- wrote to President Abraham Lincoln, during the American Civil War. In the letter, Mrs. Johnson asked President Lincoln to make everything that is on his hands to get African American soldiers to receive the same treatment as white soldiers. The letter was written on July 31, 1863, in her home in Buffalo, New York.
