The Emancipation Proclamation is a document written during the Civil War freeing slaves in the southern (Confederate) states. Abraham Lincoln signed the document.
Freedom for slaves became a reality when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln. He signed the document 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.
Abraham Lincoln signed it. It freed the slaves held in the Confederate States. The other slaves were not freed until later.
That document signed by Abraham Lincoln is the Emancipation Proclamation.
Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 to prevent foreign recognition of the Confederate States of America. As Lincoln had no power to free slaves in the Confederate States, the document did not free any slaves and exempted slaves in loyal Union states and in those areas of the South occupied by Federal troops.
