Second. Abraham Lincoln has declared that the slaves so emancipated may be used in the Army and Navy, now under his control, by which he means to employ, against the Free People of the South, insurrectionary measures, the inevitable tendency of which will be to inaugurate a Servile War, and thereby prove destructive, in a great measure, to slave property.

Interesting, an insurrection within an insurrection.

It is also interesting that the Confeds vastly underestimated the decency and humanity of their slave property.

Despite extreme provocation, there were essentially no atrocities committed by slaves against their masters or his women and children.
