Yes I actually knew what you meant but want you to state what you meant so others who might not have known would know what you meant.

It is not “freeing the slaves” when you only “free” slaves who are NOT UNDER YOUR JURISDICTION.

Actor and Democrat John Wilkes Booth.

Let us not forget that because Democrap actors are still giving Republican Presidents a hard time.

The proclamation as worded only applied to the “rebellious” or secessionist states. Which is where the majority of the slaves were. The thought was not to drive allied states to secession, those states would follow soon enough. The great lie is the civil war was fought over slavery. The war was actually about secessionism.

“And slaves in Maryland and Delaware celebrate until they read the fine print...”

And also slaves in Kenya and Hawaii!

Hence, Hussein would be a Slave in 1863 if he had been a Community Organizer Slave Boy.

It’s perfectly OK for a president to use his pen and his phone - as long as you agree with his intentions.

Slaves in Delaware, Missouri, Maryland and Kentucky notr the territory of West Virginia that broke off from Virginia. Those slaves were not freed until the ratification of the 13th Amendment in Dec 1865.

A useful side effect of the Proclaimation was the final decision by the Brits and French that they would not formally recognize the Confederacy as a nation.

The Democratic Party response...founded the KKK as the terrorist wing of the party in order to keep newly freed slaves “in their place”. But you won’t hear about that in any public school classroom.

I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.

Lincoln's inaugural address, 1861. Guess his views 'evolved' like Obama's ...

1n 1863 Lincoln did not interfere with the institution of slavery in states where it was legal and remained in the Union. Having someone start a war with you would tend to cause ones views to evolve.

Oklahoma was Indian Country and the tribes split, most going with the CONFEDERACY, the other half with the Union.
The way to tell a Union Indian was he had two crossed straight pins in his lapel. They were told to KILL any white man they saw by Union officers.
On the High Plains many of the tribes saw this as a chance to go on the warpath against the Blue Coats!

After the war was over, Oklahoma Indians were forced to give up most of Western Oklahoma. This land was then given to other tribes during their removal.

Cherokee General Stand Watie was the last to dismiss his troops to go home after the war was over.

***President Abraham Lincoln signs the Emancipation Proclamation.***

Before this date the war was about preserving the Union. When troops finished their enlistments they went home. Union troops became hard to find.

Then came the Emancipation Proclamation and people viewed it now as a war to free the slaves, NOT to preserve the Union. They did not want to give their lives for such a thing, so then Lincoln came up with the Draft Laws, which drove New Yorkers and others went into rebellion against the draft. Read carefully at the billboard in the background behind Jefferson Davis
