I have never heard of that date being celebrated, have you? Maybe we have moved on, wait let me think about that...
was jan 1 1863 that is the day they were freed , yes September 22 he signed it but the important day was the day of speech where it went into effect , some states are setting up a holiday hopefully the whole country one day will celebrate this day Sept 22?would be okay
