Perhaps while we wait for Palestinian Authority to get here you could explain how you believe the Emancipation Proclamation freeing four million slaves is inaccurate or constitutes some sort or historical revisionism?

History doesn't support your contention that the Emancipation Proclamation freed four million slaves, therefore, it's revision. Unrevised history tells us is the 13th Amendment freed the slaves.

who's Palestinian Authority and why didn't you ping him/her?

I think even your friends with half-brains can point out how 4 mil is a terribly uneducated revision.

If there were 4 million slaves total, and you exclude those areas "under Union control" as did the emancipation, and you exclude the border states who remained in the union, and you account for the fact that executive orders do not equal laws (thus the need for amendment), you come to the firm conclusion that you're a revisionist bootlicker.
