NASHVILLE - The original Emancipation Proclamation signed and issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 will be on display briefly at the Tennessee State Museum in 2013 - one of its rare public exhibitions outside of Washington, Gov. Bill Haslam announced Monday.
Dates for the exhibit at the state-owned museum in Nashville have not been determined, but it will be on display for only 72 hours during a larger and longer Civil War history exhibition that will run from Feb. 12 through Sept. 2, 2013, officials said. During the rest of that time, "secondary" copies of the Proclamation sent to the states in 1863 will be on display.

In 1850, 13 years before President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation and 15 years before the Civil War ended, slavery was the norm in the southern United States.
Maryland, a border state, also practiced slave holding but had more free people of color than any other slave state.

DAYTON -- The Rev. Charles Brown said he understands why slaves in southern states gathered for watch services on the night of Dec. 31, 1862.
They knew the Emancipation Proclamation from President Abraham Lincoln promising freedom to slaves in Confederate states was to go into effect at the stroke of midnight.
