Emancipation Proclamation

"I have considered everything that has been
said to me about the expediency of emancipation, and have made up my mind to issue this
proclamation, and I have invited you to come together, not to discuss what is to be done,
but to have you hear what I have written and to get your suggestions about form and style. I have thought it all over, and have made a promise that this should be done to myself and to God." from Abraham Lincoln: The Man & His Faith by G. Frederick Owen
