Questionable footnotes
[edit]The questionable footnotes follow this passage: "In December 1861, Lincoln sent his first annual message to Congress (the State of the Union Address, but then typically given in writing and not referred to as such). In it he praised the free labor system for respecting human rights over property rights; he endorsed legislation to address the status of contraband slaves and slaves in loyal states, possibly through buying their freedom with federal money; and he endorsed federal funding of voluntary colonization."
The annual message does not mention contrabands. The pages in Striner that are cited do not mention contrabands, slaves in loyal states, or colonization. Maurice Magnus (talk) 00:18, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
No mention of the Battle of Stones' River?
[edit]Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't Antietam which allowed Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation to go through, it was Stones' River, which the contemporaries then recognized. Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 04:34, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Inserting page numbers
[edit]In the first paragraph under "Political impact," which begins "The Proclamation was immediately denounced," I corrected the quotation (the original does have "an utopian"). The two "page needed"s in that paragraph, after the two "note 107"s, is page 64 (it's at Google Books), but I don't know how to enter it. If someone will do that, then I'll know how and I will be able to enter the page numbers of subsequent footnotes. Maurice Magnus (talk) 13:43, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
