shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free;

thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to
repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.
That the executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States,
and part of States, if any, in which the people thereof respectively, shall then be in rebellion against
the United States, and the fact that any State, or the people thereof shall, on that day be, in good
faith represented in the Congress of the United States, by members chosen thereto, at elections
wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have participated, shall, in the absence
of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people
thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States.

of War" approved March 13, 1862, and which act is in the words and figure following:
