That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, 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; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom ... Why was this document written?
to free enslaved people
to issue orders to government officials
to declare that slavery was morally wrong
to punish rebellious slaves
The NRA would be the correct answer. Because the second amendment gives the right to own firearms and the NRA stand for National.Rifle.Asscosciation. Hope this helps :)
