The headlines read, 'Slavery Legally Abolished!' However, the greater majority of slaves, in the South, went right on living as though there had been no emancipation. They went on living like they had never been set free.
In fact, when one Alabama slave was asked what he thought of the Great Emancipator, whose proclamation had gone into effect, he replied ''I don't know nothing about Abraham Lincoln except they say he set us free. And, I don't know nothing about that neither.'' How tragic. A war was being fought. A document had been signed. Slaves were legally set free.
Yet most continued to live out their years without knowing anything about it, they had chosen to remain slaves, though they were legally free. Even though emancipated, they kept serving the same master throughout their lives.
Yet, so it is with many believers today. They have been set free, yet they have chosen to remain slaves to the same strongholds that have gripped them all of their life.
