On January 1, 1863 president Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves within the confederate states.
What if president Davis issue his own proclamation Feb 1, 1863?
On Feb. 1, 1863, President Davis before the people of Richmond and the Confederacy proclaimed The Eradication Proclamation...
President Davis ordered the eradication of slavery in the Confederacy by eliminating all slaves within the Confederacy. He was ordering the CS Army and local militias to round up all slaves and put them into Concentration Camps or kill them on the plantation where they worked.
The purpose of Concentration Camps was to organized the slaves to work for the Confederacy and to systemically eliminate the slaves until there was none left within the Confederacy.
President Davis stated "If President Lincoln wants to shed white mans' blood and bring war upon us in the name of freeing the slaves, then I will solve this issue by spilling every drop of blood slaves have." He went on, " By eradicating all the Slaves why would or should President Lincoln bring war upon the good people of the Confederacy. We could have our nation and peace within the year."
Beginning within weeks of President Davis Eradication Proclamation the Southern governors began building Concentration Camps and rounding up the slaves within their states and eliminating them..
What if the Confederacy began building Concentration Camps and eradicating slaves?
What would President Lincoln, Congress and the people of the North react?
