Emancipation evoked mix of emotions for freed slaves

I am free, but no one welcomes me to the country of liberty. I am a stranger on a strange land.

What does it mean to release slaves? Which slave is actually released? How will liberation change the course of war? When President Abraham Lincoln considered his preliminary release declaration in September 1862, there were many issues to consider. Lincoln took office as his president and vowed not to interfere with existing slavery, but the war of 17 months changed this. Lincoln personally believed that the release of slaves was a "fair act", but he had to take into account whether the act was constitutional. He also noticed that he was unable to release all the slaves, including those who kept faithful to North Korea's important border state.

Under this excuse, Abraham Lincoln signed the Liberation Declaration. The declaration released slaves, but only in the south. In other words, the law releases only slaves that are not considered legal. This announcement aims to accelerate the war by spurring southern slaves to rebel and destroy the southern economy. But the abolitionists believe that this declaration is not enough. They want to see all the United States abolish slavery. Then in the last few months of Lincoln 's life he passed the thirteenth revision that was done, but later the abolitionists thought they would not go too far because they wanted voting rights as well.
