I don't know how to make this more plain to you.

You suggested a position on the meaning of the EP that a reading of any general history of the war would have told you was false.

Now, did you take that position in ignorance, or malevolence?

[A. Patriot] Could someone tell me if it is true that the Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in areas that the U.S. government did NOT control? That slaves in other areas such as Maryland were freed later when the 14th Amendment was passed?

[Wlat] Yes.

Wlat said it. It must be true.
