Each planet in our solar system is unique, but they all have a few things in common, too. For example, every planet has a north and a south pole. These points are in the center of the planet at its ends.
Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22nd, 1862. It stipulated that if the Southern states did not cease their rebellion by January 1st, 1863, then Proclamation would go into effect.
As a correction, the Emancipation Proclamation, enacted by Lincoln in 1863, only freed the slaves in those states that were rebelling. Because the Union only controlled some small portions of the south at the time, only a small number of slaves were immediately freed. Slavery everywhere in the US wasn't abolished until the ratification of the 13th amendment in 1865, and there were still some slaves in the northern states who weren't freed until then.
