"On September 22, 1862, Lincoln announced that he would issue a formal emancipation of all slaves in any state of the Confederate States of America that did not return to Union control by January 1, 1863" (source wikipedia)........"all slaves in any state of the Confederate States of America " Again, if your state wasn't one in the confederacy, the E.P. didn't make them free. The 13th amendment did that three years later.

[AnthonyEJones]

Sorry. Isn't enough time here to give you the history class you missed when you dropped out of high school. You'll have to go to your community college for that.

@oJKBo "It proclaimed the freedom of slaves in the ten states then in rebellion," (From Wikipedia and the Library of Congress Archives.) If your yankee state wasnt one of the "ten in rebellion" then slave ownership was legal per the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln. Get educated before you start flapping your bullshit. Furthermore, the emancipation proclamation did not make the free slaves citizens. It merely freed them.

[oJKBo]

@AnthonyEJones Right, so go ahead and list all the states in the north where you could own slaves.

[AnthonyEJones]

@oJKBo What a ignorant statement. The civil war had nothing do to with slavery. You do realize the the emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in the SOUTH? Northern slave owners were still free to legally own slaves.
