LAD #20 Emancipation Proclamation

The Emancipation Proclamation identifies two new things. First it states that any black people that were held as slaves in the Southern states in rebellion to the Union would now be declared free. This made sure they would be respected and treated better than they had been. It also declares a list of states where this will apply. Lastly, Lincoln declared the slaves in those states will be regarded as free with full rights. This proclamation would help change the way blacks were treated and would help lead to the abolition of slavery and new rights and freedoms guaranteed to them.

Pictures: I chose a picture of the Emancipation Proclamation and a picture of women protesting them being denied the right to vote. This lead to the 19th amendment that stated no one can be denied the right to vote based on their sex. Both of these documents, or changes gave blacks and women more rights and the basic freedoms of humans. They both lead to change and would greatly impact many people.
