== ArticleQuestionable Imagefootnotes ==
 
The first image in this article is an artists rendition of a fictional character reading the proclamation, below is an actual image of the original document. Should this be changed? It doesn't seem that image has any meaningful importance to the Emancipation Proclamation aside from being inspired by it. Certainly not enough to be the main image for the article. --[[User:Dabluecaboose|Dabluecaboose]] ([[User talk:Dabluecaboose|talk]]) 21:05, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

The questionable footnotes follow this passage: "In December 1861, Lincoln sent his first annual message to Congress (the [[State of the Union Address]], but then typically given in writing and not referred to as such). In it he praised the free labor system for respecting human rights over property rights; he endorsed legislation to address the status of contraband slaves and slaves in loyal states, possibly through buying their freedom with federal money; and he endorsed federal funding of voluntary colonization."

The annual message does not mention contrabands. The pages in Striner that are cited do not mention contrabands, slaves in loyal states, or colonization. [[User:Maurice Magnus|Maurice Magnus]] ([[User talk:Maurice Magnus|talk]]) 00:18, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
== Balance at ''[[Forced into Glory]]'' ==
 
== No mention of the Battle of Stones' River? ==
{{FYI|pointer=y}}
Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't Antietam which allowed Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation to go through, it was Stones' River, which the contemporaries then recognized.

== Add For ==
The article (on a somewhat controversial biography of Abraham Lincoln) rarely has editors or even talk-page comments, so additional input is requested. PoV issues with our article have been pointed out since 2009, and the off-site academic controversy involving the book's notable author, [[Lerone Bennett Jr.]], and his views about Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation goes back to the 1960s. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''']] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] 😼 </span> 23:01, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

== Inserting page numbers ==
 
In the first paragraph under "Political impact," which begins "The Proclamation was immediately denounced," I corrected the quotation (the original does have "an utopian"). The two "page needed"s in that paragraph, after the two "note 107"s, is page 64 (it's at Google Books), but I don't know how to enter it. If someone will do that, then I'll know how and I will be able to enter the page numbers of subsequent footnotes.

==Ten or eleven==
" It proclaimed the freedom of all slaves in the ten states in rebellion." Shouldn't that be 11 or since part of Virginia remained with the Union Virginia is not counted? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/70.59.95.185|70.59.95.185]] ([[User talk:70.59.95.185#top|talk]]) 17:15, 1 January 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
