The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order issued by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. It declared that all slaves in Confederate territory were to be considered free. However, it did not immediately free the slaves in practice as it only applied to areas controlled by the Confederacy, and it took the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution to officially abolish slavery in the United States.
