“The measure that ultimately was enacted, introduced by Representative Barksdale of Mississippi on February 10, 1865, the day after Benjamin’s speech, made no provision for emancipating slaves. It merely authorized the President to accept from the owners of slaves the services of such a number of able-bodied Negro men as he may deem expedient to perform military service in whatever capacity he may direct.... "

made no provision for emancipating slaves
made no provision for emancipating slaves
made no provision for emancipating slaves
made no provision for emancipating slaves
