Emancipation Proclamation, which abolished slavery in the United States.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
All slaves in the confederate states were free.
They weren't particularly. The Abolitionists noted that Lincoln was allowing slavery to continue in the Upper South states that had remained loyal. Non-abolitonists were not especially interested in the slave issue. The mid-term elections showed little reaction to the Proclamation. It was really aimed at Britain and France, to keep them from aiding the Confederates.
Emancipation Proclamation was historically, immensely significant; without it, our country would be completely different.
