Contrary to popular belief, the Emancipation Proclamation's goal was not really to free slaves. It stated that all slaves in the 10 rebelling states were free. You see the problem here?

The Proclamation made freeing slaves an explicit goal of the Union war effort, and was a step towards outlawing slavery and conferring full citizenship upon ex-slaves.
President Lincoln SIGNED and ISSUED the Emancipation Proclomation. I don't believe that history is clear on whether or not he actually SPOKE it.
