The Emancipation Proclamation was an administrative order published by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It announced the liberation of serfs in the ten Confederate states still in the revolution. It also commanded that released serfs could be registered in the Union Army, which would increase the Union's possible manpower.

i'm not sure what you are asking, but it also served as a debtors colony, was ran by the trustees for 20 years until becoming a royal colony, and people had restrictions such as no slaves, and only 50 acres of land per person/ hope this !
