      The Emancipation Proclamation didn't free any of the slaves. Slavery wasn't really abolished until the 13th amendment was passed January 31, 1865.
  • The original of the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, is in the National Archives in Washington, DC. With the text covering five pages the document was originally tied with narrow red and blue ribbons, which were attached to the signature page by a wafered impression of the seal of the United States. Most of the ribbon remains; parts of the seal are still decipherable, but other parts have worn off.
  • It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control. Most important, the freedom it promised depended upon Union military victory.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • From the first days of the Civil War, slaves had acted to secure their own liberty. The Emancipation Proclamation confirmed their insistence that the war for the Union must become a war for freedom. It added moral force to the Union cause and strengthened the Union both militarily and politically. As a milestone along the road to slavery's final destruction, the Emancipation Proclamation has assumed a place among the great documents of human freedom.
  • President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."
  • Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of Americans and fundamentally transformed the character of the war. After January 1, 1863, every advance of federal troops expanded the domain of freedom. Moreover, the Proclamation announced the acceptance of black men into the Union Army and Navy, enabling the liberated to become liberators. By the end of the war, almost 200,000 black soldiers and sailors had fought for the Union and freedom.

  • Prior to 1492 and Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas, Spain's only possession of any consequence outside Europe were the Canary Islands. By the mid-sixteenth century, however, Spain would control much of the Caribbean, large portions of the Americas and parts of Africa. This rapid acquisition of overseas possessions was accompanied and aided by the establishment and consolidation of hegemony in Europe through a series of political marriages.

  • Christopher Columbus, the captain who reached first the New World, the two new continents, can be considered the luckiest discoverer in western civilization, because the territory he reached is the biggest in terms of size. This is abstract, of course, because many adventurers and settlers after that explored this enormous territory. Also we know how many peoples lived there - Indians (more than 200 tribes), Aztecs, Mayas, Inks. So the word "discovered" is relative in this case. Maybe we'd better say "discovered from the European point of view".

  • Harriet Tubman was a runaway slave from Maryland who became known as the "Moses of her people."
  • Harriet Tubman's name at birth was Araminta Ross. She was one of 11 children of Harriet and Benjamin Ross born into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland
  • As a child, Ross was "hired out" by her master as a nursemaid for a small baby,
  • Ross had to stay awake all night so that the baby wouldn't cry and wake the mother. If Ross fell asleep, the baby's mother whipped her.
  • In 1844, Ross married a free black named John Tubman and took his last name. She also changed her first name, taking her mother's name, Harriet
  • In 1849, worried that she and the other slaves on the plantation were going to be sold, Tubman decided to run away
  • During the Civil War, Tubman worked for the Union army as a nurse, a cook, and a spy.
  • In 1863, she went with Colonel James Montgomery and about 150 black soldiers on a gunboat raid in South Carolina. Because she had inside information from her scouts, the Union gunboats were able to surprise the Confederate rebels
  • But when they realized that the gunboats could take them behind Union lines to freedom, they came running from all directions, bringing as many of their belongings as they could carry.
  • After Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery, she returned to slave-holding states many times to help other slaves escape. She led them safely to the northern free states and to Canada
