Black History Month: Understanding the Emancipation Proclamation

1863 was an important year for African American rights in the United States. The country was in the midst of the Civil War, the southern province (also known as the federal government) was separated from the North (Union) or separated. The important reason for the war was slavery, which was allowed in the south. People in the south believe that without the slaves, the economy and all of the southern Caucasian lifestyle will be destroyed.

President Abraham Lincoln opposed slavery, but his main concern was winning the war and tying the north and south again. He once wrote that "If we can save alliances without liberating slaves, we will do this and we will do it if we can save it by releasing all slaves."

On January 1, 1863, Lincoln signed the "Liberation Declaration" - this is the long name of a long article (it lasts 5 pages). You may have heard that it has released all slaves, but it is not so. A minority of 4 million slaves in the country released soon

Kristina Barron of KidsPost talked to Jennifer Johnson of the National Archives. He agreed to explain what Lincoln means and what happened after he wrote these things.

Slaves in federal state under federal control were officially released. In fact, the south did not abide by Lincoln's order. People in the south think that their country and their president, Jefferson Davis, are there. That is why there are not so many slaves actually released on that day. Since January 1st, the allies were victorious and battle occupied the south army area, so the slaves there were released.

It allows a released slave to join Allied forces and the Navy to help those who are still slaves. By the end of the war, 200,000 African Americans were fighting for the alliance.

He is not powerful. He signed a declaration as Supreme Commander (Military and Head of the Navy) so that the Alliance could release slaves in the fighting country. Congress had to propose amendment to the Constitution (the thirteenth revision of 1865) and most states must support slavery changes to conclude in all states.

No. On September 22, 1862, Lincoln issued a document to tell the South Confeder that he officially announced in January.

The liberation declaration changed people's perception of war. By signing, Lincoln said that war is not about whether the state should be able to determine its own slavery. He said war was free. Lincoln's words encourage slaves to escape as free men and begin a new life.

You may be surprised that this country is different from slavery. In 2013, the idea of ​​whether slavery should be continued seems absurd. However, this country is very different from 150 years ago. You can think of the questions discussed in this country today, do you think 150 years of people are this stupid question?

Lincoln 's desire to weaken the southern economy led to the release of the declaration that Abraham Lincoln' s liberation declaration will complete the most important change in American history. A few months ago, Lincoln revealed in the Crittendon Resolution that the Allies are not targeting southern farms and whether the South is welcomed to the north, regardless of whether the dialogue has been relocated to the country. Spaniards deviated heretics from Christianity and defined it as a legitimate concept that did not follow religious ideas accepted in the country and traditional criteria. But over time, as long as you can not prove that you have blood, the blood purity law is enacted

Dunnamo's declaration is "the first major release in American history" and Isaac Sani, professor of history at St. Mary's University of Nova Scotia, states. About 90 years after the incident, Abraham Lincoln signed the Liberation Declaration and ended slavery in areas not under the control of the US government. When the tide fought against the British army in 1779, they announced a second release called Philipsburf's announcement. It spreads to slaves who crossed the British route without fighting freedom and land promises. Mr. Sunny said this movement is an economic war against colonies.
