    La Proclamación de Emancipación tuvo efecto en este día. Declara: "Yo, Abraham Lincoln, Presidente de los Estados Unidos, por virtud del poder que se me ha otorgado como comandante en jefe... en este primer día de enero, en el año de nuestro Señor, mil ochocientos sesenta y tres... públicamente proclamo... que todas las personas retenidas como esclavos... son, y de aquí en adelante serán, libres... Y, por lo tanto, yo impongo a las personas así declaradas libres, que se abstengan de toda violencia...y... recomendar...que trabajen fielmente por sueldos razonables." Concluyó Lincoln diciendo: "Y sobre este hecho...invoco...la gracia favorable de Dios Todopoderoso".
