    The 150-Year War

    When the USA abolished slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, it only did so for the CSA - which, of course, it could not yet impose it's will on.  Odd, don't you think?  You pass a law which affects only your enemy's homeland - a law you cannot enforce, unless you capture it?
