It is strange but Lincoln did not outlaw slavery in the U.S.
He issued the Emancipation Proclamation which freed the Slaves in the South which were under U.S. Control. For instance Ulysses Grant did not free his until the 13th amendment.

Some 150 years since Abraham Lincoln outlawed slavery in the U.SIf ignorance is bliss, the writer must be ecstatic.

Pretty lame colorizations, it looks like they did it with florescent magic markers. There's pics out there that are pretty mind blowing, this one for example.....

President Andrew Johnson and the Federal Army in 1865. Johnson took over as president during the Civil War after Abraham Lincoln was shot And all this time I thought the was ended before Lincoln assassination.
