cannot make emancipation a reality.n Now
there was no part Of the country embraced
in the proclamation where the United States
could not and did not make emancipation
reality. Those who saw Lincoln most frequ-

the gra1dest acts in the course OF time by

of civilization, which gave the first example
of an imperial government with equality

the saying of Confucius, that we should moi
