Must be true as the New York Times says it, you know like "Virginia, If you see it in the Sun, it's so." When someone continually lies, the Vietnamese say "His tongue has no bones" and that would certainly apply here.

".......when the Emancipation Proclamation became law—the president could use the map to follow Union troops as they liberated slaves........"

Fail. Go to the corner and put on the dunce cap. The exceptions are the areas that were then under Union control

The Great Emancipator
"Whereas on the 22nd day of September, A.D. 1862, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit:

"That on the 1st day of January, A.D. 1863, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free...

Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana (except the parishes of St. Bernard, Palquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James, Ascension, Assumption, Terrebone, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the city of New Orleans), Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia (except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkeley, Accomac, Northhampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Anne, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth), and which excepted parts are for the present left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued."

NOTE - Slavery was NOT abolished in one Confederate (Tennessee) and four Union states (Maryland, Delaware. Kentucky, West Virginia, and Missouri)."

Pesky, pesky facts ........

DC is infested with crooks who need to be tarred, feathered, ridden out of town on a pole and deposited in the filthy Potomac where they will feel right at home.
