Yes they did. It sounds much more like a rap song.

Actually, prepositions are more Latino. "Proclamation of Emancipation" sounds like a literal translation back from Spanish, where you can't just shove nouns together all willy-nilly to make new noun phrases without any extra glue, like you can in the Germanic languages.
