Emancipation Proclamation January 1, 1863
Copy of the Emancipation Proclamation [folded broadside]
This is the text that freed slaves in rebelling Southern States in 1863. The two versions represent the straight forward approach of the Proclamation, as well as its ideas of patriotism. In the more intricate Emancipation copy, President Lincoln is framed by flags and statues that represent liberty. There is an eagle that holding arrows and an olive branch showing that the fight will be fierce but there is an option for peace. The more intricate document represents the honor associated with presidential power.

Analysis of Emancipation through visual textual representation.
This document is a self-created document meant to analyze the vocabulary the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation emphasized. The words: thereof, St, hundred, and thousand, have been removed as they impose a different analysis on the document than I would like.

September 22 Draft of the Emancipation Proclamation
Self-made document to analyze the document's change over time. By analyzing the Emancipation draft and comparing it to the final version I hope to learn how the document changed and how the intention changed with the wording.
The frequency of "united" and "states" or "state" shows the key elements of the Emancipation Proclamation shows President Lincoln was emphasizing unity among states over "persons" which can be both slave-owners and slaves. The document also emphasizes "service." Slightly less frequent is "rebellion," which shows President Lincoln was more interested in service, people, and unity.

Abraham Lincoln to John C. Fremont, Monday, September 02, 1861 (Fremont's August 30 Proclamation; endorsed by Lincoln, Sept. 3, 1861)
President Lincoln responding to Major-General Fremont's proclamation.
Direct letters indicating what President Lincoln thought of Fremont's Proclamation are indicators of how the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862 was formed. There was some anxiety since Fremont's Proclamation went against the Confiscation Act Congress had passed August 06, 1861.
