The Great Emancipator
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: January 19, 2009
It was very rewarding to read in the Jan.16 issue of Highlands Today, the guest column titled, "The Great Emancipator," by Leonard Pitts.
He details facts relatively unknown by many United States citizens of all races.
Specifically, he writes of historical facts stating that Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves for political reasons. In the beginning, slaves were freed only in states not under his control and did not apply to states under his management.
Pitts is a very discriminating reporter in his search of and publication of the truth. I would like to see this column repeated often.
