The specific states were Arkansas,Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi,Alabama, Florida,Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.The second proclamation was issued at the white house.

hypothesis~Discrimination is wrong and the constitution did not help get rid of discrimination, the Emancipation Proclamation helped. According to this hypothesis, discrimination in any way is wrong. Discrimination is wrong because it goes against the Constitution. The Constitution states, "All men are created equal." Yet, during the 1700's, there was slavery of blacks in the south.Later on when the proclamation was written we had no more slavery.So if just the constitution was written we would still have legal slavery today.
