Emancipation+Proclamation

Emancipation Proclamation In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln (R, 1861-65) issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all the slaves in states rebelling against the U.S. government. With the Emancipation Proclamation, did Lincoln: • Not go far enough in freeing the slaves, because he limited the scope of the proclamation to states still in rebellion? (PRO) • Follow the most politically expedient course in gradually freeing the slaves, because the Constitution gives Congress—not the president—the authority to abolish slavery? (CON)

Pro: I am against any expansion of slavery.

Con: i am for slavery so you should be too

PRO; I think that if you do it will turn the border states against the union.

Con: and thats a good thing for us

PRO; The constitution does not give the president the authority to abolish slavery only the congress.

CON: oh ya well the Emancipation Proclamation does not go far enough to freeing slaves linkin is not commited toto racial eguality but is using the Emancipation Proclamation as a wepon to freeing slaves but as a last resort to beat the confederice
