CASSIUSAnd why should Caesar be a tyrant then?
Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf
But that he sees the Romans are but sheep.
He were no lion were not Romans hinds.
Those that with haste will make a mighty fire
Begin it with weak straws. What trash is Rome,
What rubbish and what offal, when it serves
For the base matter to illuminate
So vile a thing as Caesar! But, O grief,
Where hast thou led me? I perhaps speak this
Before a willing bondman. Then I know
My answer must be made. But I am armed,
And dangers are to me indifferent.
Who kils themselves after seein Cassius' dead body... Why?
Titinius kills himself after seeing Cassius's dead body because he finds it his duty to do so since it was him who went to recognize if the approaching army were friends or foes. When he reached the army he realized they were friends and shouts of celebration due to Brutus army beating Octavius's army were made. Pindarus who was observing from afar waiting to inform Cassius of what was going on, misunderstood the shouts origins as being because they (the approaching army) were enemies and had now captured one of the main men from the opposing party. Titinius blames himself for the death of Cassius and decides he must ''play the Roman's part'', in other words commit suicide.

Did Julius Caesar free slaves?
No actually Abraham Lincoln did. Julius Caesar didn't free slaves. If you check in the Harcourt 5th grade edition, look in the index and look for Civil War. Then when you find that look at the page number and go to those pages. When you get to the first page of the Civil War section read it until the end and see that Abe Lincoln freed the slaves.
Here's a little expansion on the above answer. Although everything in the answer is correct, it's in the wrong time period. Our category is Roman history, not American history. Yes, Julius Caesar, like all Romans, did free slaves. Remember, there was a great difference between ancient slavery and American slavery.
In fact in the Rome of Julius Caesar's day, slavery was not only common, but was the backbone of the economy. Everyone had slaves, including Caesar. Caesar may have freed some of his slaves in his will, as such a practice was very common (so much so that Caesar's nephew and heir, Augustus, restricted the practice), but he certainly did not take any steps to abolish slavery in the Roman Empire, which would have been a social catastrophe.
