Emancipation Proclamation

America’s Biblical Foundations and Christian Martyrdom Freed the Slaves

The Emancipation Proclamation by Wellington Boone boldly presents America’s 10 Pillars of Emancipation—compelling evidence of a nation built on the Bible and Jesus Christ that eventually culminated in the end of slavery. Yet in shocking departures, God’s principles were often neglected during critical moments in American history.

Discover the untold story of how our nation could have avoided the bloodshed of the Civil War by repenting for the sin of slavery during the 1857 Awakening.

Be inspired by Black American Watch Nights and their impact in 1807, to end the international slave trade, and in 1862, for President Lincoln to sign the Proclamation.

Follow the timeline of emancipation history, beginning at Creation, when God created all men equal in His image and likeness, and culminating in the Civil Rights Movement.

The rich history and timeless wisdom in this book will awaken your faith and ignite a passion for a more God-centered America. You will find purpose and meaning in our nation’s past struggles and missed opportunities, Black history’s vital place in American history, and the significance for all races of holidays like Juneteenth, when God is in it.

America may have a solid foundation, but we still need God's transformation.

“Long may our land be bright, / With freedom’s holy light, / Protect us by Thy might, / Great God, our King.”—Samuel Francis Smith, “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”
