did the slaves get freed

Lincoln freed something like 4,000 of them in Washington, DC...and after that I think they were just called interns. :)

When did Lincoln do this ? YOU do know the Emancipation Proclamation did NOT free slaves in the North, don't you?
It took the 13th amendment to free the slaves in the North. That yankee education isn't all it is cut out to be, is it? :)
