Emancipation Proclamation
How could he have done this to us? "Lincoln threatens us with a proclamation abolishing slavery - here in the free Southern Confederacy." All the government officials - the men who will be safe - are meaning for this war to escalate over a decision that should be left as is. Abolitionists pushed Lincoln until he gave in and began this discussion with Congress, and now the consequences are obvious. It won't be too long before slaves begin walking right off the plantations and head towards the north.

Of course, what did you expect? That the self proclaimed Confederacy could turn against their kin and go unpunished? What better way than to abolish slavery the only source of labor, and therefore, the source of income? God Bless Lincoln and Help this torn and war-rent Nation!
