What follows is the text of the three different versions of the proclamation: first draft, preliminary version, and the final, issued proclamation, along with Lincoln's introductory remarks to his cabinet regarding the second version, and last, the Thirteenth Amendment.Note: Applewood Books has produced a nice looking inexpensive series of sturdy pocket-sized reprints of important American books, documents, speeches, pamphlets, and poems, the Little Books of Wisdom, uniform with this volume, that are ideal for gifting to doctors, lawyers, teachers, business professionals, and students of same:  The Way to Wealth , George Washington's Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation , The Constitution of the United States of America , On the Art of Teaching , The Poems of Abraham Lincoln , The Strenuous Life , The Bill of Rights with Writings That Formed Its Foundation , The Path of the Law , The Constitution of the Confederate States of America , The Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, A Message to Garcia, A Declaration of Sentiments, Robert's Rules of Order, Good Citizenship, On Being Human, A Discourse Upon the Duties of a Physician, The Declaration of Independence with Short Biographies of Its Signers, The Wants of Man, George Washington's Farewell Address, The Speech of Chief Seattle, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Common Sense, The Articles of Confederation, and The Gospel of Wealth.Some selected volumes are also available in boxed sets: Books of American Wisdom Boxed Set, CEO's Gift Box of Wisdom, Doctor's Gift Box of Wisdom, Lawyer's Gift Box of Wisdom, New Citizen's Gift Box of Wisdom, and Teacher's Gift Box of Wisdom.And some have been published in Spanish: Un Mensaje a Garcia and Constitucion de Los Estados Unidos. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent proclamation *by I***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022* I must have read this in elementary school, it was good to revisit and refresh the words of Lincoln and see how in America those who were captive were made free. God bless America. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An important document that we should understand *by I***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2021* The Emancipation Proclamation, given to readers free by Amazon, is worth reading to understand an important event during the Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln felt during the war that he could not free the slaves in the northern states, but only free those in the rebellious south (over which he had no control during the war). The proclamation was issued on September 22, 1862 and would become effective against states and parts of states still in rebellion on January 1, 1863. The president wrote that the proclamation was a “necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion.” He, in essence gave the states and parts of states who were in rebellion three months, 100 days, to end the rebellion, otherwise they would lose their slaves. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10435387-the-emancipation-proclamation-books-of-american-wisdom](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10435387-the-emancipation-proclamation-books-of-american-wisdom) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
