3 The Emancipation Proclamation One of the most important things Abraham Lincoln did while he was president was issue the Emancipation Proclamation. What did the Proclamation say? Why is it so important? The Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, It was an Executive Order announcing that all slaves in the rebelling states were to be freed. January 1, 1863 By the President of the United States of America: A Proclamation. Whereas, on the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit: "That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom. "That the Executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people thereof, respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any State, or the people thereof, shall on that day be, in good faith, represented in the Congress of the United States by members chosen thereto at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State, and the people thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States." Now, therefore I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-in-Chief, of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and in accordance with my purpose so to do publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days, from the day first above mentioned, order and designate as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof respectively, are this day in rebellion against the United States, the following, to wit: Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, (except the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the City of New Orleans) Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, (except the forty-eight counties designated as West Reading Through History Page 1
4 Virginia, and also the counties of Berkley, Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth[)], and which excepted parts, are for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued. And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free; and that the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons. And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defence; and I recommend to them that, in all cases when allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages. And I further declare and make known, that such persons of suitable condition, will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service. And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution, upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the eighty-seventh. By the President: ABRAHAM LINCOLN WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State The Emancipation Proclamation did not free that many slaves at first. There were about 20,000 who were freed as soon as they order took effect. This was a small number compared to the 3.1 million slaves the proclamation actually applied to. Since those slaves lived in states that did not consider themselves to be a part of the United States, it was difficult to enforce the order in those areas. However, the Emancipation Proclamation had a major impact as the war progressed. Words to watch for: emancipation repress sincerely abstain First, the issuance of this Executive Order made slavery the key issue of the war. Prior to the Emancipation Proclamation, the primary goal of the war had always been preserving the Union. From that point forward, though, the focus of the war was abolishing slavery as well as preserving the Union. Additionally, as Union soldiers captured new areas, the slaves in those territories were immediately set free. The Emancipation Proclamation was not entirely popular when first issued. In fact, many thought the President was overstepping his authority. However, most foreign nations applauded the effort. In fact, because of this announcement, no foreign nation would consider recognizing the Confederacy as a legitimate nation. Page 2 Reading Through History

9 The Gettysburg Address Abraham Lincoln s Gettysburg Address is remembered today as one of the finest speeches ever delivered. What did the Gettysburg Address say? Was it always thought of this way? On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln spoke at a dedication for the Soldiers National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This event occurred a little more than four months after the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War. Lincoln was not the featured speaker at this dedication service. The main speaker was Edward Everett who delivered a speech which lasted more than two hours! Following these lengthy remarks, Lincoln delivered his address as a way of commemorating the actual cemetery. His remarks were very brief, consisting of only ten sentences, but they are remembered today as a masterpiece: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Words to watch for: proposition devotion consecrate resolve Reaction to the speech was mixed. The crowd was quiet afterwards, with only mild applause. Some claim they were hushed into silence, while others argue they were not that impressed. Newspapers across the nation reprinted the President s words, along with their own evaluation. Some referred to the address as silly, shameful, and even ludicrous. While other reporters stated that the speech was a perfect gem and that Lincoln s words were deep in feeling. However, regardless of how his contemporaries felt, there are few today who question the power and effectiveness of Lincoln s words. The speech has been quoted countless times and will surely endure as part of the world culture for generations to come. Reading Through History Page 7
