I decided to put this article on hold. Overall, it is an excellent article. However, the lack of references prevents this article from achiving GA status. I would suggest looking on the Internet for more sources and reference this article. Some places that especially need a reference are direct quotes. See WP:REF

Also, I do not think the last paragraph in Emancipation should be that long. I would suggest shortening it and providing links for other articles in WP that tell about the economic collapse. If you want to talk about the economic situation after the slaves were freed, then focus on how freeing the slaves affected the economy.

Overall this is an excellent article and with these small things fixed up, I know this will be GA material in no time. Please leave a message on my talk page when you want me to review the article again :) Z1720 07:37, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
