It proclaimed that no man could own another. In doing so it legally freed the slaves, many of whom had no place else to go nor any idea how to survive in the white-oriented nation in which they found themselves. This was, however, the beginning of freedom for black Americans. The road to true freedom for these citizens has been a long road and we, the people, still have a long way to go.
