Quick-fail: I do not think this article is ready for a full good article review. Issues I see right off the bat:
 * Lead is too long. We try to limit the lead to four paragraphs, but given this article's length it may be better off down to three. The idea is to provide a quick summary. All the detailed stuff belongs in the body. More at WP:LEADLENGTH.
 * Several unreferenced areas, namely the Emancipation and Freedmen sections. Everything needs to be verifiable, supported by reliable sources.

Until these issues are addressed I don't think the article can be given a proper review. See the full GA criteria at WP:GA?. Beyond that I see good potential with this article, and hope to see it reach GA class someday soon. Best &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 00:48, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
