A quote from the document is “...all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free…” This quote means that people considered slaves are now free and that everyone will acknowledge them as normal people. This was an important statement by the President because he changed so many lives. Many people never saw slavery ending so the fact that he made that change in his country must have been difficult for him to achieve. This connects to my life by knowing that nothing is easy to achieve, it must be worked
