Key Points

  • Trump praises Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation as a turning point in the Civil War that helped lead to the end of slavery.
  • The message says the proclamation helped push the country toward freedom, equality, and basic rights for all Americans.
  • It also frames equality as coming from God, and calls on Americans to recommit to justice and the idea of the United States as a great nation.
