well im learning about slaves just now in history and there never really was a campiagn for emancipation (or maybe we havent covered that yet) but there was a large group of abolitionists who helped free an certain amount of slave. There was Fredrick Doulglas, The Grimke Sisters, slaves couldn't fully be free yet due to the south not wanting to give them up and there was no way to do it legally. In the Dred Scott case there was a slave who sued for his freedom but wasnt given it due to the Fifth Amendment (no taking away prpoerty woithout due process of law) and the slave didnt count as a person, just property.

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.

Often not very well. It was actually the Thirteenth Amendment which freed the slaves, not the Emancipation Proclaimation. Unfortunately, when Rutherford B.
