Emancipation Proclamation 

President Abraham Lincoln 

1863

As the fierce fighting of the American Civil War entered its third year, President Abraham Lincoln acted to give a new war aim to the soldiers of the Union Army.

On January 1, 1863, Lincoln signed the ( Emancipation Proclamation ) which :

Effectively freed the slaves in the states openly rebelling against the United States.

The Civil War quickly became not only a fight to preserve the Union, but also a cause for the spread of freedom to all Americans.

Many of the recently freed slaves joined the Union Army or Navy, and fought bravely for the freedom of others.

The Proclamation was greeted with celebration in Boston, New York, Washington, DC, and else where.

In order for these words to become reality, however, much more fighting was still to come.

By the end if the American Civil War in 1856, almost 200,000 African Americans fought for the Union.

In December of that year, the 

US. Constitution was amended to free all slaves living in any part of the USA.

The 13 Amendment completed the work that the Emancipation Proclamation had begun, ending all Slavery in the United States of America !!!
