The text. Simple and mark-able.
Here below is the text of President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation in both MS Word and in PDF formats. Download your preferred format and refer to it occasionally all school year. A useful drill is to simply read and highlight the document, putting comments in the margins. You can do so in either program, or print out the document and do it the old-fashioned way.
