Emancipation Proclamation

President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, declaring that all enslaved people in Confederate states 'henceforth shall be free.' The proclamation fundamentally altered the Civil War's purpose by linking Union victory to emancipation and enabled Black men to join the U.S. military.
