The major differences between the 13th amendment and the Emancipation Proclamation were as follows:
1. The 13th Amendment freed all slaves, regardless of what state they were in, while the EP only freed those in certain states and of certain circumstances.
2. The EP was only brought out by Lincoln as a political approach for election and as a strategy for the war against the Confederate Army.
'Nuff said.
