Proclamation stated that the North was against
slavery.”

4. FACTS
“"We show our sympathy with slavery by
emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them
and holding them in bondage where we can set them
free." Lincoln was fully aware of the irony, but he did
not want to antagonize the slave states loyal to the
Union by setting their slaves free. “
