- ... power to enforce emancipation in these states still in control by the Confederacy, but the four slave states still under federal control were exempt from the Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation was nothing more then a war measure. It was part of Lincoln's strategy and was politically necessary. Unfortunately, the Proclamation was only partially successful for Lincoln. Lincoln had hoped to regain military initiative, political momentum, and diplomatic superiority all with ... It also did assist in gaining the favor of British abolitionists whom stepped up their efforts against recognition of the Confederacy. The Emancipation Proclamation made clear, once again, what Lincoln had stuck by throughout the war.

America, insecure about its power to uphold a democratic government in foreign nations feared a communist invasion from their Cold War foe, Russia. A hysteria swept across the United States as American paranoia of a loss of personal rights increased. President Harry Truman's thoughts summed up the nation's feelings toward communists with, "The ...

- ... are words which, unfortunately, come to many people’s mind whenever the subject of the military and its personnel comes up. Venerable generals, courageous colonels, and laudable lieutenants receive heroes' welcomes as they return from war to their respective countries. They are deserving of this, are they not? After all, anyone who goes overseas, dismisses personal welfare, and has the rare blend of fearlessness and audacity to send men into battle ... own miserable faith. The incompetency of the military leaders is only one small part of which makes them utterly odious. Belonging to the military, it is only natural people expect them to place winning the war (although I hardly consider murdering innocent people a definition of victory) number one on their priority list. The military leaders do not see the war as a mode of squashing the enemy. Conversely, they exploit it and the objective is not to crush the enemy but to explore personal interests.
