The emancipation was done to incite a slave revolt, which it didn’t. The only revolt it incited was in New York City, the infamous draft riots. I now return you to your regularly scheduled Civil War photo thread.

Actually the Emancipation Proclamation did facilitate a massive slave rebellion, as slaves walked off their plantations and joined the United States Army, taking up arms against their previous owners.
