After Abraham Lincoln released the Emancipation Proclamation an increasing number of escaped slaves consigned themselves to the Union units asking to be employed as auxiliaries for logistic purposes.
Furthermore the Proclamation opened the way to the enrolment of black people as volunteer soldiers in the Union Army.
Lincoln did NOT sign the Declaration of Independence. It was signed in 1776, and Lincoln was not born until 1809.
1-But in a larger sense we can not dedicate,we can not consecrate,we can not hallow this ground. 2-The brave men ,living and dead,who struggled here,have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.

No. Independence Day has nothing to do with the abolishment of slavery. Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery because blacks helped the Union win the Civil War. Independence day is a holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. I personally consider the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) to be the true Declaration of Independence.

By American indenpent's announcement, you are referring to the Declaration of Independence? or the Emancipation Proclamation? Thomas Jefferson, our 3rd President, wrote the Declaration of Independence where we officially called ourself a new nation. Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President, wrote the Emancipation Proclamation, where he freed all slaves in territories controlled by the South.
