1863 Journal Entry-Long

January 2, 1863

Today all slaves from rebellious states were freed from bondage. Lincoln finally signed the final Emancipation Proclamation. Mom and Dad will be so happy. This document will probably release few slaves because southern slave states are not going to release their "property". I think this proclamation will help a lot to end slavery. Parts of the Confederacy that get liberated by our troops will probably be affected. This war has been very eventful. I think the Union is winning so far.

Letter Home - M. Stanton

To my Father, I've been part of the Union for a few days know. Almost a week, I'd believe. As you know, I joined because I felt it was necessary to show my loyalty to the country. You've known I've always longed for a purpose, so when President Lincoln was in need of men at Fort Sumter, I saw an opportunity. I know you wished to accompany me, but I couldn't let you make that sacrifice. But worry not, it has been reported to me that this wretched war should take around six months . In fact, they've already begun in the state of Maryland, a city called Baltimore . The men I lead are not stationed there, but we've heard that the first shots of war have been fired there already.
