Well to naturally have wavy hair, I'd suggest taking a shower and then french braiding your hair while it is still damp. Then, sleep on it over night and the next day it'll be wavy. :) You can also put it in a bun overnight too instead, but the waves may not turn out as nice. You can try using a flat iron or curling iron, but if your hair doesnt hold curl and you dont wanna use hairspray then thats out i guess. Good luck :) ...

Following Wednesday’s Law Day program, we were fortunate to have the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation , handwritten by President Abraham Lincoln , on display at the close of the program. Don Simon, Assistant Law Librarian For Operations & Planning, studies Abraham Lincoln’s draft of the Emancipation Proclamation. Photo Source: Abby Brack Lewis The draft Proclamation, which was first read by President Lincoln to his cabinet on July 22, 1862, is rarely displayed. The remarkable document features President Lincoln’s neat and legible script. According to Michelle Krowl, Historian with the Library’s Manuscript Division , the document reflects Lincoln’s writing habits. He wrote different sections of the Proclamation on various scraps of paper as thoughts came to him. He then collated the final version into the tightly written draft that the Library houses and preserves. For a better view of the draft , visit the With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition page. ...

The Debunker: Did the Emancipation Proclamation End Slavery?

Even though the Civil War hasn’t receded all that far into the past—the Associated Press reported last month that two children-of-Civil-War-vets are still alive and well and receiving government veterans’ benefits!—we may not remember very much about it. This month, Ken “Burns” Jennings will reveal that a lot of what you think you know about the Civil War is a bunch of Bull Run. Civil War Myth #3: The Emancipation Proclamation Freed the Slaves. Say what you will about the recent work of Steven Spielberg, at least it’s helped to shoot down a lot of historical myths about Abraham Lincoln. For example, most Americans dimly remembering their tenth-grade history class probably assume that slavery in the Republic was ended by the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863. But as the movie Lincoln makes clear, abolition didn’t actually happen for almost three more years, when the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in December 1865. In fact, Lincoln’s famous Proclamation only ended slavery in Confederate territory —not in the border states (five slave states that had elected not to join the Confederacy) or in southern territory already taken by Union troops. As Tom Burnam memorably notes in his 1975 classic The Dictionary of Misinformation , “Since it applied only to an enemy with which the United States was at war, obviously it could have no legal force, any more than a Proclamation by President Roosevelt ordering Hitler to free all J ...
