So I'm a nerd and a history buff and I love to see the way that things happened as opposed to the way that they are presented today the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves if it's someplace and the Emancipation Proclamation was not made or written in order to help the slaves it's written in order to trash the self and get more Soldiers & Sailors in the military of the North does not really matter they are free but just saying know your history
