Well, many problems today go back many hundreds and thousands of years ago, so children need to be informed about history. This does not only apply to the Emancipation Proclamation it also applies to all of the other significant historical events that help shape the United States. Also, by being educated about the Emancipation Proclamation it helps to under stand the major issue of slavery that was splitting the nation in half in the 1800/slavery/civil war time period.

What was the purpose of president Lincoln emancipation proclamation?

The two versions of the Emancipation Proclamation were designed as war measures. But the reasons were more complex than that.The US Supreme Court had already ruled that slavery was legal in 1857. Since the four border states were not affected, this clearly places the proclamations in the category of "war measure" to try to disrupt the Southern social and economic structure. After the war, could the Constitutional issues could be addressed. That this was a slow process is evidenced by the fact the 13th amendment abolishing slavery did not pass until December 1865.
