Question: when did abraham lincoln write the emancipation proclamation??
I found the following answer on Google: The Proclamation did not apply to the five slave states that were not in rebellion, nor to most regions already controlled by the Union army; emancipation there would come after separate state actions and/or the December 1865 ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment , which made slavery illegal everywhere in the U.S.
Is that a correct answer? Yes or no.
