BTW How many slaves in he US did Ole Abe free with the EP. Try zero.

Actually it freed all those in the areas covered by the Proclamation. It just took a while before many could take advantage of their freedom.

My point was that the EP did nothing for the slaves in the USA. the EP only affected the CSA.
