1 gen 1863 anni - The Emancipation Proclamation

Descrizione:

The Emancipation Proclamation was an order given on January 1, 1863 by Abraham Lincoln to free the slaves. Although, the Emancipation Proclamation had some limitations. First, it only freed the slaves in the Confederate States that were not under Union control. There were some areas and border states where slavery was still legal, but were part of the Union. The slaves in these states were not immediately freed. For the rest of the Southern states, the slaves would not be free until the Union was able to defeat the Confederacy. However, the Emancipation Proclamation did eventually set millions of slaves free. It also made clear that in the near future all slaves should and would be set free.
