LAD #20: The Emancipation Proclamation

  In this rather groundbreaking historical document, Abraham Lincoln declares that on January 1, 1863 all slaves in the Southern states rebelling against the Union are free.  This title will be completely respected and understood by all military and naval personnel.  Secondly, he states that all slaves in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana,  Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia are thus liberated from their servitude obligations.  This declaration will hold true if they choose to venture North.
