The Emancipation Proclamation

the emancipation proclamation. it was signed on 9/22 in some year in the past

The Emancipation Proclamation states simply that all black slaves should be free. That ALL slaves any color, size or shape should be free. Men were created equal and President Lincoln knew that. He decided he needed to do something about it. So he got pen and paper, sat down and started to write. On January 1, 1863 the Proclamation was issued.

The best known, least understood, was the Emancipation Proclamation. It freed those slaves that were in areas that were- AT THAT TIME- in rebellion against the US. It did NOT free all slaves. Some Union States were also slave owning states (and were not in rebellion). States that were in rebellion were not going to comply with the proclamation.
