It would depend on whether you were from the Union North or the Confederate South. Technically, the President does not have the power to do this, except insofar as it was part of his war powers.

It is up to the Congress and House of Representatives to pass laws and for the president to sign it and for the Supreme Court to decide if the law is constitutional.
