520    In his first inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln declared 
       that as president he would "have no lawful right" to 
       interfere with the institution of slavery. Yet less than 
       two years later, he issued a proclamation intended to free
       all slaves throughout the Confederate states. When critics
       challenged the constitutional soundness of the act, 
       Lincoln asserted that he was endowed ""with the law of war
       in time of war."" In Act of Justice , Burrus M. Carnahan 
       contends Lincoln was no reluctant emancipator; he wrote a 
       truly radical document that treated Confederate slaves as 
       an oppressed people rather than merely as enemy property. 
       In this respect, Lincoln's proclamation anticipated the 
       intellectual warfare tactics of the twentieth and twenty-
       first centuries--From publisher description.
