Although the Emancipation Proclamation was short, it was to the point and very significant. On January 1st 186, this document declared any slave in a rebellion state, would be free. Lincoln recognized the slave states as, Arkansas, Texas, Parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Parts of Virginia. Lincoln stressed that the freed slaves were all to be excepted into the Country as citizens, and the Citizens and government were asked to recognize them as so. Lincoln also adds that all free slaves will be excepted into the US Army to do various jobs. Hopeful Abraham Lincoln was hoping this document to make the Civil War simmer down and create a united country again.
