Too bad the Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves in non Confederate states.

Too bad the Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves in non Confederate states. ? "Despite this expansive wording, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control." www.archives.gov/exhibits/featured_documents/emancipation_proclamation/ |

Too bad the Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves in non Confederate states. That doesn't make it any less significant as an important moment in American history that enabled the country to take another step closer to freedom and liberty for all. Of course, Lincoln soon followed up with the 13th Amendment, which passed the Senate and the House prior to his death. It was ratified by 3/4s of the States by the end of that year - 1865. It would take more than 50 years to grant women the right to vote and another 100 years for the Voting Rights Act to pass. As MLK said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” One can only wonder what is in the hearts of men (and political parties) who to this day, still try to hold back equality for all including "one person one vote." |
