Regarding the so-called idea that Abraham Lincoln freed slaves via "Emancipation Proclamation" let me say that upon my recollection it didn't free slaves.
Only those living in those states that were in open rebellion against the Union at the time. Lincoln obviously did not have the authority to abolish slavery itself unilaterally.
Your right....
