Differences:

Lincoln only freed southern blacks. He couldn’t care less for Northern slaves - they were owned by his friends.

Similarities:

Smug self-congratulating “I am not racist” white people use their legacies indiscriminately while continuing to distance themselves from blacks. For communists, the enemy isn’t racism, but freedom.

Lincoln worked to pass the 13th Amendment that freed all the slaves. He didn’t just free the southern slaves, but he did recognize that the federal government had limited powers to free slaves, absent an insurrection or constitutional amendment.

So he issued the EP to weaken the insurrection, and worked toward the amendment.

You would be well served to read some history instead of the Lost Cause mythology you have obviously swallowed hook, line and sinker.
