When you purchase a vehicle from a dealership, they are allowed to pick up your registration and license tags without paying the local property taxes. When the dealer states that they are taking care of your taxes, they are referring to South Carolina sales tax, which is paid at the local Department of Motor Vehicles.
By this time Lincoln had decided on an even more dramatic measure: a proclamation issued as commander in chief freeing all slaves in states waging war against the Union. As he told a member of his cabinet, emancipation had become âa military necessityâ¦. We must free the slaves or be ourselves subduedâ¦.
The Declaration of Independence had nothing to do with freeing any slaves. You are probably thinking of the Emancipation Proclamation in which Lincoln ordered that slaves beâ¦ freed in any Confederate state that did not return to the Union by January 1, 1863. The Proclamation did not cover any slaves in Union states.
