Abraham Lincoln's audacious plan as he faced what he thought was the end of his presidency? In 1864, amidst the darkest hours of the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln believed his reelection was a lost cause. In this climate of uncertainty, Lincoln turned to a trusted ally, Frederick Douglass. Lincoln's request was unprecedented …- he asked Douglass to organize scouts to venture into the South. Their mission? To free as many slaves as possible before a new president could reverse all that had been fought for.

First, the US should never allowed slavery. But strictly legally speaking, the Emancipation Proclamation didn't free anyone. The Union Troops did.
