The Proclamation took effect January 1, 1863. It had been announced in late September 1862, to take effect the next January 1, unless the Rebels quit fighting by then. Lincoln had written it in July, 1862, but decided to wait until a Union battlefield victory to announce it, so it would not seem the last desperate screech of a loser. The Battle of Antietam was close enough to a Union victory, so the Proclamation was announced the week following that battle.
