1862rif. 129821862. Lincoln Abraham. Front-page printing of the September 22 1862 Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in the Republican Herald and Post of Providence Rhode Island dated September 27 1862 carrying Lincoln's emancipation policy to newspaper readers only five days after its issuance. The proclamation announced that enslaved people in states remaining in rebellion on January 1 1863 would thereafter be free making its rapid newspaper circulation central to public understanding of a major change in Union war policy. Its appearance in this Providence issue documents the immediate dissemination of Lincoln's order during the Civil War. Republican Herald and Post. Providence Rhode Island. Saturday morning September 27 1862. Four pages printed recto and verso. The front page prints Lincoln's September 22 proclamation including the passage: "I Abraham Lincoln President of the United States of America and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter as heretofore the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relations between the United States and the people thereof. Abraham Lincoln." The full proclamation joined the Union war effort to a stated deadline for emancipation in rebellious states while also addressing compensated emancipation colonization enforcement by military and naval personnel and the status of people escaping slavery under federal law. Lincoln issued the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation after the Battle of Antietam and months of debate within his administration over the timing and legal basis of emancipation. By printing the proclamation on September 27 the Republican Herald and Post records how quickly readers encountered the new policy through the daily and weekly press before the final Emancipation Proclamation took effect on January 1 1863. Minor chipping to the edges; otherwise excellent condition. A closely dated Civil War newspaper preserving contemporary public circulation of Lincoln's preliminary order for emancipation. unknown books
