Abraham Lincoln used Slavery to END Slavery
Today we get into the legal paradox of the Emancipation Proclamation, a fascinating document and bold Presidential action which reveal Lincoln's legal genius. Knowing this history is incredibly important, and you shouldn't need to hire a lawyer to understand it. That's why I'm here to help! I'm Jake the Lawyer, your Internet Esquire. On this channel I explain concepts, history, and legal doctrines we've all heard of, but might not totally understand. Thank you for watching! I'll be dropping episodes every Wednesday. Please enjoy and have a wonderful day.
