Summarize Emancipation Proclamation
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863. It stated that any Black people held under slavery in the deep south who are under revolt against the Union are declared "forever free". The gov't will protect these people freedom from those who try to deny them. Those trying to deny these freedoms will have to suffer consequences. Lincoln declares that some states in the south do not have to follow these guidelines. These states include: Louisiana (New Orleans) and Virginia. Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama Florida, Georgia, South Carolina North Carolina, and Virginia are to be considered to follow these guidelines and serve as free territory for slaves to go free and have their rights maintained if they lived in the North.
