{"product_id":"the-day-of-emancipation-jd-arden-9798264667282","title":"The Day of Emancipation: Proclamation, 1 January 1863","description":"On New Year's Day, 1863, a wartime order-narrow on paper, volcanic in practice-turned a war about union into a war about human liberty. The Emancipation Proclamation didn't free everyone that morning, but it pinned a new purpose to the flag: freedom would follow the Union lines, Black men would be asked to fight for it, and the moral stakes of the conflict were forever altered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Day of Emancipation traces that pivot with sharp scenes and clear-eyed judgment. From refugee camps and enlistment stations to courtrooms and foreign capitals, JD Arden follows how a presidential order became a political and legal inevitability, culminating in the push for the Thirteenth Amendment-and leaving an unfinished promise that still shapes American life. Lucid, unsentimental, and urgent, this book is for readers who want history that explains why a single date can still demand attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jd Arden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798264667282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Jd Arden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997128995071,"sku":"9798264667282","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-day-of-emancipation-jd-arden-9798264667282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
