How do you explain the fact than there were slaves held in the northen states, and that Lincoln's :Emancipation Proclamtion" specifically didn't apply to those people?

That would only need to be explaned to someone who doesn't understand the Constitutional limitations on the President and the limitations of executive orders.

That's a laugh. Lincoln didn't worry about constitutional limitations when he suspended Habeus Corpus, or to the Courts today as they trample the FREE EXCERCISE CLAUSE underfoot.
