Select the correct text in the passage.
In this excerpt from the Emancipation Proclamation, which phrase or sentence supports the claim that President Lincoln did not want the slaves to
take up arms against their former masters?
I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are, and henceforward shall be, free; and
that the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of
said persons.
And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defense; and I recommend to them
that, in all case when allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages.
And I further declare and make known that such persons of suitable condition will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison
forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service.
And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment
of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God.
