[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3799434, member: 41653"] Funny. Everyone is taught that old Abe freed the slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation only applied to the territory controlled by the Union Army on that day. Which was pretty much where slavery was already outlawed. It didn't (and couldn't) apply to territory controlled by the CSA. Further, when more territory was conquered by the Union Army, the EP did not apply. The EP should be read by everyone, but no one bothers. I mean, the teachers wouldn't teach something that isn't true, would they? [/QUOTE]
