Contrary to popular belief, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free very many from enslavement.? The US Civil War measure? announced freedom for those enslaved in the Confederate States that had succeeded from the Union.
Salient to the Presidential Executive Order was the official announcement and call for Black Soldiers to join Union Soldiers to fight for freedom and help end the U.S. Civil War.? The proposed National Emancipation Day requires education and advocacy to share the authentic legacy.
