"The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order issued by President Lincoln on January 1, 1863. In a single stroke it changed the legal status, as recognized by the U.S. government, of 3 million slaves in designated areas of the Confederacy from "slave" to "free"."


THAT WAS A CENTURY AND A HALF ago ... get the fuck over it

ever nation on earth has at one time or another allowed slavery ...it is still being practice in some countries ... so if this is your "cause" I suggest you move there, and help the slaves
