The emancipation proclamation was a document written in the United States of America, (Union) during the Civil War. It mainly stated that the slaves in the Confederacy were now freed. However, it did not free the slaves in the border states (Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Delaware) because Lincoln knew they would secede and the Union would not win the civil war.

At first, the reason for fighting was to preserve the Union and keep the country together, but afterwards, the goals had changed to free the slaves of the south.

In reality, the Civil War itself did not abolish slavery. Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, declaring all slaves within any state of the Confederacy that did not return to the Union by the following year.

But those slaves were freed through individual state and federal actions beyond those of the Civil War or the Emancipation Proclamation
