The Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery. Slavery was ended when the 13th Amendment was ratified.

Emancipation Proclamation said that the slaves were free but did not have the authority to free them didn’t it?

“You can see it in the streets, you can see where they’re coming from, and the same way they fought as Confederates they want to bring down the government and reform it.”

So does that mean the Civil War wasn’t about slavery after all? It was the ‘War for Government Reform’?

Why isn’t Rangel in federal penitentiary for tax evasion?

And crooks and thieves still living large on taxpayer's money!

The panel also ordered Rangel to pay restitution of any unpaid taxes

He apologized for any embarrassment he has caused and stressed that he would like the panel to acknowledge that he never sought any personal gain and is not corrupt. Rangel also lashed out the press.

“What the press has done to me and my family is totally unfair and they will continue to call me a crook and call me corrupt,” he said.

Rangel, the 80-year-old, 20-term House veteran, admitted some fault in his initial statement to the panel, but added: "I had no intent to evade or avoid the law."

The panel also found Rangel guilty of using an apartment in Harlem zoned for residential use as his campaign office, failing to report more than $600,000 on his financial disclosure report and failing to pay taxes on rental income from a villa he owns in the Dominican Republic.

When Union troops entered the South they were freeing slaves on the way according to the EP from Lincoln. In looking at the EP there were no slaves in the North to free, he had really no jurisdiction in the South and he was leery of offending the Border States and push them into the South’s war. The black abolitionist Frederick Douglas spoke out against the legality of the EP as in, what can it really do to end slavery.

Take your “illegal secession” BS and fade away. The south lost and it’s about time you neo-confederates learned to live with it; or do you still want to hang on to the democrat party’s confederate heritage?

Are you an American and support the Constitution and the Republic or are you a confederate wannabe in exile.

“neo-confederates “

Are you a yankee liberal that believes in illegal acts by a president as long as it is your party doing it? Thought so.

“Lincoln was the first Republican president who signed the emancipation proclamation which freed the slaves.”

Nope. It took the 13th amendment to do that. The liberal public school system wanted you to believe in the EP freeing slaves.

The Emancipation Proclamtion didn’t free diddly squat. Read the damn thing; it’s only a couple paragraphs long. It freed NOBODY!

Slavery did not end, and the slaves were not actually freed, until the passage of the 13th Amendment, some two years after the EC.

Jim Crowe laws were a part of the North as well. Very much so. Even Lincoln didn’t want to allow freed blacks into Illinois.
