What major announcement was made by President Lincoln on the first of January in 1863?
Abraham Lincoln signed a document called the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, which supposedly freed all of the slaves in the Confederacy. However, since the Confederacy was not under Union control, this document had no legal effect on the condition of the Confederate slaves. It was actually a clever move that Lincoln used to give the Confederate slaves confidence to escape to the North. This weakened the Confederacy, which depended on slave labor for agriculture.
Was Lincoln killed after the civil war?
He was asassinated just after the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, which is taken as the effective end of hostilities. Some other Confederate units did not surrender till after Lincoln's death, and the Confederate States cabinet continued to meet for a few more weeks. There was no official peace treaty, for the simple reason that Lincoln had never declared war in the first place - this would have meant recognising the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. He had merely called for volunteer troops to put down a rebellion of certain states.
