LAD #15: Emancipation Proclimation

This document was issued on January 1, 1863, and was a very important event. Lincoln, in this document, granted freedom to all salves in the rebellious states, stating that the executive branch and army would protect any free slaves and not harm any. It was issued for the Confederates and didn't grant freedom for salves in the borders states to keep their support. Slaves could also work and receive wages. Lincoln also declared the proclamation to be an act of justice and warranted by the Constitution.
