Union together AND freeing slaves in rebel states• Declares that all slaves “living in states in rebellion” will
get their freedom on Jan 1, 1863• A 100 day “grace period” will be given to “states in
rebellion” so that they can make up their mind if they want to come back into the Union of not.
• If a “state in rebellion” comes back to the Union within 100 days, it does not have to free its’ slaves!
