Gotta love all those different 13th amendments. This is yet another one Lincoln supported.
“Unrevised history tells us is the 13th Amendment freed the slaves.”
What happened between April and December of 1865? Were all the slaves who fell under the EP (some 4 million) returned to their masters? Is it your position that they would have been had there been no 13th amendment? Please, think it through. Your position is preposterous.

First, Lincoln didn't have 4 million under his control when he issued the Proclamation. And to get really technical, he didn't free any slaves where he did have control. Second, if all the slaves were already free, why was an Amendment necessary?
