Well the South passed its own Emancipation in 1865 so it is a mute point.

[Drogmir]

Well actually that's both true and untrue.

The South tried to pass its won Emancipation but only for the purpose of arming the slaves to fight for the south after all other option ran out. And the only districts who supported it were the ones already taken over by Union control that late into the war.

If allowed it would have kept the slaves in a sub servant military position after the war was over.

Also it's moot point not mute point.

@pharoah246 no.............washington would have never been taken by any army that existed in the world at that time, the defenses surrounding the city would have made hitler shit himself

Somebody needs to strike up the fall of Paris for an occasion like this

@pharoah246 the only way a CSA victory at gettysburg means the end of war is if it was a decisive victory. Just driving the Federals off the field doesn't accomplish anything as they would just retreat to thier pre-established lines in MD and make Lee fight them again.

Imagine what life would be like today if the South would've won the battle of Gettysburg. They probably would've overran the crushed Union army and would've had a clear road to Washington. The Confederates would've claimed victory for the South, and the CSA would be born. Slavery probably would've been banned a little while after but we'd still have the USA and CSA today if the Union would've lost.(No offence to southerners.)

Capt wrong dumb fuck -- the South has still not freed the slaves idiot. There was NEVER a document issued by the Confederacy to free anyone.

IN fact, dumb fuck, the last few days of the Confederacy, the crazy fucks tried to DRAFT slaves to fight -- and it specifically said they would STILL be slaves. Got that dumb fuck?

GO learn real history, not your fucking bullshit.

bumpt dumb fuck -- Lincoln freed all the slaves he could free, with EP -- and he was already fucking working on the 13th Amendment.

Got that retard? He did both dummb fuck - -he did the EP -- and he did the 13th Amendment.

Do you fucking grasp that you fucking idiot? He did the EP -- and he did the 13th.

Do you dumb fucks not realize that? Or is it stuck so far up your ass, you can't find it?

Southerners don't "deny the fact" that he made the Proclamation. Perhaps southerners deny this: "That the proclamation freed the slaves". It did not free all of the slaves. Remember, in the mind of a confederate they were a separate country fighting for independence, and they felt that this proclamation had no power over the Confederacy. The slaves were not officially freed until the 13th amendment was added to the Constitution.
