The Emancipation Proclamation was a legislative Fiat by President Lincoln in l863. The war was still on ( in earnest- though after Gettysburg the cause of the South was doomed, and even in l863 there were rumblings of ( Night Riders) afoot. the Law applied only to slaves in the Confederate Occupied zones, and one can tell at a glance it would have been difficult to enforce, while the War was still in progress. While a step in the right direction, it is true that it was a Legally unenforceable document that some say did not liberate a single slave. Up to a point it was a political Grandstand play by the Man in the Top Hat. Lincoln was not stranger to (Media Politics) of the day.
