As President of the United States, I hereby proclaim that all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.
This proclamation is necessary for the preservation of the Union, and it is my hope that it will help to bring an end to the Civil War. It is a measure of justice and freedom, and it is in the best interest of the country to ensure that all persons are treated equally under the law.
I urge all citizens to support this proclamation and to work towards a future where all persons are free and equal. May this proclamation be a step towards a brighter future for our great nation.
( Note: I hope this helps at all. :) )
