Happy 2013! I really don't remember what we did almost two weeks ago, so I'm just going to talk about what we did today. Today we talked about the emancipation proclamation and whether or not it was the document it was cracked up to be. I don't think it is. All the hype when you're little about how "Honest Abe" freed the slaves with a single document, you don't realize that the document was kind of an afterthought and that it really didn't give the slaves any rights. It didn't even free them all, just the ones in the rebellious states. It's a little underwhelming.
