		President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on 
		January 1, 1863.&nbsp; Below there is a lithographed copy of the 
		<em>Proclamation</em>, commonly called a broadside.&nbsp; At the bottom left hand of the document the credits 
		read:&nbsp; &quot;Designed &amp; executed by A. Kidder Publisher Office 429 
		Broadway, N. Y. 86 Dearborn St. Chicago.&nbsp;
		Lith &amp; printed Cha" Shober &amp; Co. Clark &amp; Lake St. Chicago.&quot;&nbsp; At the 
		bottom center are the words:&nbsp; &quot;Entered according to act of Congress 
		by A. Kidder in the Clerks office of the District Court for the Norther 
		District of Illinois.&quot;&nbsp; </font></p>
		<p><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif" size="-1">
		Charles Shober was a well known lithographer in Chicago.&nbsp; He 
		created maps, panorama views of cities, as well as commemorative or 
		souvenir broadsides such as the one shown.&nbsp; The&nbsp; broadsides of 
		the Emancipation Proclamation were 
		popular and a number of different ones were produced by different 
		lithographers across the country.&nbsp;
		While the Proclamation merely freed the slaves in the secessionist 
		states, many in the country viewed the Proclamation as absolute.&nbsp; 
		Thus, they wanted a memento of what was seen as the decisive action to 
		end slavery.</font></p>
		<p><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif" size="-1">
		The Proclamation had a number of effects on the war, not the least of 
		which was to build the morale and strength of purpose of the populace.&nbsp; 
		The popularity of the copies of the Proclamation show that the action 
		was broadly, if not universally, popular.&nbsp; It was not until the 
		13th Amendment was ratified on December 6, 1865 that slavery was 
		abolished legally throughout the United States.</font></p>

			Slaves are considered as property, not as persons. They ought 
			therefore to be comprehended in estimates of taxation which are 
			founded on property, and to be excluded from representation which is 
			regulated by a census of persons. This is the objection, as I 
			understand it, stated in its full force. I shall be equally candid 
			in stating the reasoning which may be offered on the opposite side. 
			&quot;We subscribe to the doctrine,"" might one of our Southern brethren 
			observe, &quot;that representation relates more immediately to persons, 
			and taxation more immediately to property, and we join in the 
			application of this distinction to the case of our slaves. But we 
			must deny the fact, that slaves are considered merely as property, 
			and in no respect whatever as persons. The true state of the case 
			is, that they partake of both these qualities: being considered by 
			our laws, in some respects, as persons, and in other respects as 
			property.<br></font>
