Citizens Book pg. 102

1. Research the relationship between Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment. 


Emancipation Proclamation was a military measure taken by President at the time Abraham Lincoln that freed all slaves.The Thirteenth Amendment was the amendment to the United States Constitution that outlawed slavery all together. The relationship between the two is that they both have freed slaves and were government enforced.
  

Both the Emancipation Proclamation and 13th Amendment had to do with the freedom of slaves and were both introduced and enforced by some type of official government. The difference would be that the amendment was more concrete than the EP. It stated that slavery was abolished; it no longer could be practiced under any circumstance. Alas, both are still equally important to history.
