The Emancipation Proclamation (page 1)
Record Group 11
General Records of the United States

President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.”

Despite this expansive wording, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control. Most important, the freedom it promised depended upon Union military victory.

Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of Americans and fundamentally transformed the character of the war. After January 1, 1863, every advance of federal troops expanded the domain of freedom. Moreover, the Proclamation announced the acceptance of black men into the Union Army and Navy, enabling the liberated to become liberators. By the end of the war, almost 200,000 black soldiers and sailors had fought for the Union and freedom.

From the first days of the Civil War, slaves had acted to secure their own liberty. The Emancipation Proclamation confirmed their insistence that the war for the Union must become a war for freedom. It added moral force to the Union cause and strengthened the Union both militarily and politically. As a milestone along the road to slavery’s final destruction, the Emancipation Proclamation has assumed a place among the great documents of human freedom.

The original of the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, is in the National Archives in Washington, DC. With the text covering five pages the document was originally tied with narrow red and blue ribbons, which were attached to the signature page by a wafered impression of the seal of the United States. Most of the ribbon remains; parts of the seal are still decipherable, but other parts have worn off.

The document was bound with other proclamations in a large volume preserved for many years by the Department of State. When it was prepared for binding, it was reinforced with strips along the center folds and then mounted on a still larger sheet of heavy paper. Written in red ink on the upper right-hand corner of this large sheet is the number of the Proclamation, 95, given to it by the Department of State long after it was signed. With other records, the volume containing the Emancipation Proclamation was transferred in 1936 from the Department of State to the National Archives of the United States.

Introduction

  In the contemporary society majority of us are dependent upon technology in every aspect of life. Technology is being used at home in schools as well at work by almost every living individual. Moreover, the age does not matter at all since we find young children with phones and computers at homes. Increasing use of technology as a media of communication by people in the country and approximately at every place has created opportunities for many cyber crimes such as cyber- bullying (Johnson, 2013). However cyber bullying today is treated as a serious offense unlike in the past when it was not taken seriously by the justice system.

Cyber-Bullying

  In the past technology was not as advanced as it is today and therefore very few people had access to social networking. Additionally, only a few people had the privilege to own a mobile phone or a computer. However with advancement in technology, almost everyone is allowed to possess a technical device. Therefore the number of people using social networks range from the young and old as well as criminals from across the globe. Today cyber bullying alongside other online offenses are taken seriously and are treated as punishable crimes by the law unlike in the past.

Megan Meier Case

  In the year 2006, Megan became a victim of cyber bullying where a parent to her friend pretended to a young boy and befriended her on social networks. However later on the offender, Lori Drew used the same social network into bullying Megan, which led to her committing suicide. At that time the federal law had no legislation against cyber bullying or a protection act. Lori, therefore, did not have to be charged with a serious offense since she was only to serve a three-year sentence which she did not at all serve. However, as opposed to past legislative measures in 2009 federal law had established a bill meant to protect people from bullying on networks. The bill known as the Megan Meier cyber bullying prevention act has influenced most nations to implement changes intended to address the cyber bullying issue. According to the current state laws, Lori Drew would be charged with a serious offense of bullying and harassment by the use of electronic communication. Lori would be sentenced to confinement for five years which she would be made sure, unlike the three years she never attended to in prison.

Conclusion

  In the past where technology was only limited to a few people cyber offenses were also limited and as a result, there were no legislative measures designed to prevent the crimes. Nevertheless today most states have developed acts and preventive measures to guard against internet crimes such as bullying and fraud among others. Therefore as opposed to past prosecution of the cyber offender like Lori today she would be facing a long time in prison paying for her violation of the prevention act against cyber bullying as well as instigating a murder of a young girl (Harasymiw, 2013).

“Some people have argued that while it is appropriate to punish offenders for cyber bullying or harassment, we should not hold them accountable for the actions that people take because of the bullying.  For example, we should not hold a person responsible for a death even if they told the other person to kill him/herself, or humiliated the person online to the point of shame and desperation, etc.  It has been argued that these are still individual choices to harm oneself or others because you are being harassed.  How would you respond to that argument?”
