I believe you are referring to the Emancipation Proclamation
The Emancipation Proclomation
No. The Emancipation Proclamation, written by Abraham Lincoln, declared all slaves in the CONFEDERATE states free. This did no good because the confederate states were not in Lincoln's control at the time. This document said nothing about the UNION slaves, though. A couple of the states fighting on Lincoln's side still had slaves, and the emancipation proclamation did not set them free.
The emancipation proclamation was intended to free all slaves in the South.
When Lincoln was president, the Emancipation Proclamation was to free all of the slaves in the Confederacy. :)
Free slaves
It declared all slaves free in the United States after the civil war it was signed September 1862
That would be the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in 10 states that were still in rebellion in 1863. It did not, however, take into account slaves that were in bordering Union states. These remaining slaves were freed on the state and federal level.
