The United States divided and eventually started the Civil War. During the Civil War, more Americans died than in any other war.
Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederate States of America. He was the heart and soul.

Short answer: No, can't declare war on yourself. Long answer: The whole purpose of the Civil War was for a new nation to be created, the Confederate States of America. If Lincoln had declared war on the CSA, then he would be recognizing that new nation...in effect the CSA just got what they wanted...a new nation (because President Lincoln just declared war on the Confederate States of America...therefore THEY EXIST AFTERALL!)
The very first emancipation proclamation said that all slaves in the Confederate States of America are free, which had no effect on slaves from Virginia because it was part of the Confederacy.
That proclamation had little effect, other than symbolic, because the states that accepted the proclamation were the Union States, which were free states, anyhow. The Confederate States did not accept the jurisdiction of the Union government.

Not sure. On the other hand, the Emancipation ProclAMation was an order signed by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War that freed all slaves in the Confederate States of America. This did not free all slaves, as states like Kentucky and West Virginia got to keep their slaves, as Lincoln did not want those states to join the South. And even then, since the United States and the Confederate States were two separate countries at that time, Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation had no effect on the Confederates - it'd be akin to Germany ordering Britain to hand over milk supplies nowadays.
The effect was all the men died!
The Emancipation Proclamation. It did not, of course, free all the slaves in the Confederate states, since Lincoln had no authority over those states at the time. The princpal effect was to keep Britain and France out of the war, for fear of looking pro-slavery themselves.

The fall of the confederate city of Atlanta had devastating losses and a horrific effect on the civilian population of Atlanta. The union states did not however think that Atlanta had great military significance and this was not an intended outcome.
