ATM: Make The Case - The Emancipation Proclamation was a Public Relations Stunt by Abraham Lincoln? (6/29/2026)
About this episode
The episode discusses the Emancipation Proclamation as a public relations stunt by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War.
Abraham Lincoln needed to move the needle during the Civil War...on multiple fronts. The Emancipation Proclamation solved a lot of Lincoln's problems but it did NOT free slaves from bondage. The result was a cruel PR stunt that hurt more people than it helped. Watch this episode: https://youtu.be/I-hno10VuYc Follow Keith: @KeithMalinak More episodes at ATMshow.com
