150 Years after The Emancipation Proclamation
Slavery Re-introduced into the U.S.
Dr.Charles Ormsby
On September 22, 1862 President Lincoln used the news from Antietam (fought on September 17, 1862) to announce his proclamation freeing the slaves in those states still in active rebellion against the Federal Government as of January 1, 1863.
Amazingly, 150 years later, our recent national election endorsed a philosophy that embraces many of the core tenets of slavery. Ironically, this tightening of our shackles is being led by our first black president, was endorsed by well over ninety percent of American blacks and was supported by a super-majority of Jews who have had a history with slavery and worse.
While The Emancipation Proclamation was announced somewhat precipitously, the abolition of slavery was a work in progress prior to Lincolns presidency and it wasnt fully realized until December 1865 when the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution became effective.
The current re-imposition of slavery is also a work in progress one that is now approximately 75 years in the making but the pace is quickening and the outcome becoming more certain. The recent election was a major victory for those who seek to cement our present course.
