Help Please! 20 points Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. What did Lincoln recommend that the former slaves should do? And by virtue of the power and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are, and henceforward shall be, free; and that the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.
