Only in the South.

The Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery. Slavery was ended when the 13th Amendment was ratified.

“Lincoln was the first Republican president who signed the emancipation proclamation which freed the slaves.”

Nope. It took the 13th amendment to do that. The liberal public school system wanted you to believe in the EP freeing slaves.

“Lincoln was the first Republican president who signed the emancipation proclamation which freed the slaves.”

The Emancipation Proclamtion didn’t free diddly squat. Read the damn thing; it’s only a couple paragraphs long. It freed NOBODY!

Slavery did not end, and the slaves were not actually freed, until the passage of the 13th Amendment, some two years after the EC.
