the Emancipation Proclamation
Yes. He'd been waiting all summer (1862) for a Northern victory that would enable him to make the announcement without making it sound like a desperate measure. A few days after the unexpected Northern vistory at Antietam, he issued the Proclamation, to be effective from January 1st 1863.
The Emancipation Proclamation became effective on that date. (He actually signed it in September 1862).
No
Abe Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, but that freed the slaves of the South. Slavery was officially abolished thanks to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, approved in December 1865.
Lincoln didn't sign anything in 1886. He died in 1864 twenty-two years before 1886.
Yes= he signed his full name of Abraham Lincoln.
I THINK THE ANSWER IS IN 1863
