The Mayflower Proclamation

Throughout time, any newly founded societies, groups, tribes, or cultures proved there was an inherent need for order, structure, rules, and regulations to avoid chaos and implosion. Without any sort of codification, chaos within the world would dominate. There would be more murder, burglary, and injuries throughout the nation.

Therefore, the Proclamation made freeing the slaves an explicit goal of the Union war
