Moses Roper 1863

I am so happy to be hearing that the slaves might be set free. Mr. Abraham Lincoln sure is doing all the slaves a favor. As I heard some others talking about the Emancipation Proclamation and how it was going to set the slaves free. They said they read it out of the newspaper. I aint got no proof of it myself so I just believe it will happen. If Mr. Lincoln himself will set the slaves free we will love him forever. He's going to give us our freedom. I wonder if the other slaves know about it down south. Well im greatful that i had an successful escape from slavery. Now im hoping that everyone is given the freedom rights they deserve.
