President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation: January First, 1863

Similarly to the sweeping changes made on the twenty third day of September 1862, today ( the first of January 1863,) represents changes within the government and the society of the Untied States of America. Thus, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, are now and forever free. These freedoms will be recognized by the Executive Government of the United States, as well as the military and naval authorities. I believe this powerful decree to be an act of justice, under the Constitution, with military necessity. . I would also trust that reasonable wages be entrusted to free working citizens. This act has been passed by the Almighty and overseeing God, whom would warrant no violence be spurred by this decree, except that of self defense.
