Well, given that slavery was already prohibited in the other states not rebelling, that would seem to be pretty inclusive.

In fairness to her, the border states like Kentucky and Missouri (where slavery was legal) were specifically exempted from the Emancipation Proclamation, probably because Lincoln wisely didn’t want to deal with the possibility of added revolts in those states.

Of course, all of that was taken care of by the time the 13th Ammendment rolled around, which Miss reason is steadfastly ignoring.
