Line 50:
"On January 1, 1863, Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in states still in rebellion against the United States. Tennessee, although a seceded state, did not fall under the provisions of the proclamation. Tennessee was under Union control, and Andrew Johnson was serving as Military Governor." This quotation is linked to in [[Emancipation Proclamation]], footnote 6. But I don't see it mentioned in the present article. When did Tennessee come under Union control?

== Map in the infobox is wrong. ==
The map is labeled "Map of the Confederate States." The most glaring problem is the map includes Missouri and Kentucky, which never joined the Confederacy, they were[[Border states (American Civil War)|Border states]] that remained loyal to the Union. Second, the map includes Arizona Territory and Indian Territory (modern day Oklahoma), which weren't states at the time, and would be more accurately described as territories claimed by the Confederacy.
