The Emancipation Proclamation, was a set of 2 executive orders, ISSUED by President Lincoln, which freed slaves in the Confederate States, which had seceded from the Union, and not returned, as of January 1, 1863. It was not a speech; Lincoln had drafted, written and issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and signed the final order on January 1, 1863, but it was not a speech.
