A biographical sketch of Gerald Ford would typically include his full name (Leslie Lynch King Jr., later changed to Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr.), his date and place of birth (July 14, 1913, in Omaha, Nebraska), his political affiliation (Republican), and his role as the 38th President of the United States, serving from 1974 to 1977. Other key aspects could include his time as Vice President under Richard Nixon, his pardon of Nixon, and his efforts to heal the nation after the Watergate scandal.

The most unpopular aspect of the Ford presidency was probably his pardon of former President Nixon. Many Americans believed that Nixon should have faced criminal charges for his involvement in the Watergate scandal, and Ford's decision to pardon him was seen as a betrayal of justice.
President Gerald Ford had four children: Michael Gerald, John Gardner, Steven Meigs, and Susan Elizabeth.
Ford becoming President was unique because he is the only person to have held the office of President without being elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency. He ascended to the presidency after Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned and President Richard Nixon resigned, making him the only person to become President without winning a national election.

ANSWER
The Emancipation Proclamation was instituted at a time during the war when the north was losing and it was used to create unrest in the south. The slaves weren't freed they were only freed in the south. The last 2 states to give up their slaves were Ohio and Delaware 2 years after the war. Gen. Lee inherited 50 slaves and released them 10 years before the war started. Gen. Grant was forced to free his slaves. The civil war was not fought over slavery it was fought over individual states rights.
