1、林肯：解放黑人奴隶宣言THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION:By the President of the United States of America:1862年9月22日，一个瘦弱而伟大的总统用颤抖的双手签署了这份宣言，他知道虽然该宣言会激起奴隶主们的反抗，可能会造成国家南北的分裂。但为了结束一个资本主义与奴隶制并存的畸形社会，他用颤抖的双手签了，虽然此后他的担心成真了，而且白己还被同情奴 隶制的蒲斯刺杀了。但统一后的美利坚合众国在通往现代化的道路上 一路狂飙，创造了无数现代文明，引领了整个20世纪。这个丑陋而羸弱的总统也成就了美国历史上最伟大的总统。THE EM

5、 the people thereof,respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the factthat any State or the people thereof shall on that day be in good faithrepresented in the Congress of the United States by members chosen theretoat elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters

6、 of such States shallhave participated shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, bedeemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people thereof are notthen in rebellion against the United States.Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtueof the

7、power in me vested as Commander-In-Chief of the Army and Navy ofthe United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority andgovernment of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure forsupressing said rebellion, do, on this 1st day of January, A.D. 1863, and inaccordan

8、ce with my purpose so to do, publicly proclaimed for the full periodof one hundred days from the first day above mentioned, order and designateas the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof, respectively, arethis day in rebellion against the United States the following, to wit:Arkansas

13、wages.AndI further declare and make known thatsuch persons of suitable conditionwill be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts,positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in saidservice.And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of j

14、ustice, warranted by theConstitution upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment ofmankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God.On Jan. 1, 1863, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln declared free all slavesresiding in territory in rebellion against the federal government. ThisEmancipation

15、 Proclamation actually freed few people. It did not apply toslaves in border states fighting on the Union side; nor did it affect slaves insouthern areas already under Union control. Naturally, the states in rebelliondid not act on Lincoln,s order. But the proclamation did show Americans-and the wor

16、ld-that the civil war was now being fought to end slavery.Lincoln had been reluctant to come to this position. A believer in whitesupremacy, he initially viewed the war only in terms of preserving the Union.As pressure for abolition mounted in Congress and the country, however,Lincoln became more sy

17、mpathetic to the idea. On Sept. 22, 1862, he issued apreliminary proclamation announcing that emancipation would becomeeffective on Jan. 1, 1863, in those states still in rebellion. Although theEmancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in America-this wasachieved by the passage of the 13TH Amend

18、ment to the Constitution on Dec.18, 1865-it did make that accomplishment abasic war goal and a virtual certainty.DOUGLAS T.
