Best Answer

It's the document signed by Abraham Lincoln which ordered all the slaves in states fighting against the Union to be freed. This did NOT happen, but it helped the Union because people in other countries against slavery came to help the North because the Proclamation stated that the North was against slavery.

It didn't affect the US as much as people say it did. What people don't realize is that slavery was already on it's way out BEFORE the civil war.
