Title

Word Cloud of September 22, 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.

Subject

September 22 Draft of the Emancipation Proclamation

Description

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.
