Problem:
"Emancipation Proclamation (1863)" and "Jefferson Davis" response
How does Lincoln justify his decision? Who exactly does it apply to? How was it to be enforced? How does Davis respond? What do you think Davis is implying about the treatment of Union officers? Finally, how should the Emancipation Proclamation be understood in context of Lincoln's evolving views on slavery? What is its lasting significance? Does it fall short in any way?
