The Emancipation Proclamation was signed and issued by President Abraham Lincoln on 22 September 1862 and declared that all slaves of any state that had seceded from the Union that did not return to Union control 1 January 1863 were free, Since Alabama failed to return to the Union by that date they were therefore free by Executive Order on that date. It remains a strongly criticised document among historians. For some it is because it was too little too late, for some becaus of the exemptions it included and for another group because it may have been a usurpation of Executive Powers.
