Answer:
The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."
Slavery and enslavement are the state and condition of being a slave, wherein a person is coerced by a slaver into working for little or no pay, and is deprived of physical liberty. In chattel slavery, the enslaved person is legally rendered the personal property (chattel) of the slave owner. In economics, the term de facto slavery describes the conditions of unfree labour and forced labour, where people are forced or compelled to work against their will. In the course of human history, slavery was often a feature of civilisation and legal in most societies, but is now outlawed in most countries of the world.
