President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the U.S., issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863.
The Civil War was a war of contradictions. The South seceded to perpetuate slavery and instead ended up destroying it. North vowed not to interfere with slavery and won sufficient support to kill it. Unlike many abolitionists, President Lincoln understood he couldn't eliminate slavery without first saving the union. And unlike many conservative Republicans and Democrats, he realized he couldn't save the union without eliminating slavery.

∙ 13y agoAbraham Lincoln - even though its terms could not be enforced in the South. Slaves could only be freed if the Union armies were physically able to liberate them as they passed through slave country. Then if the North were to win the war, these ex-slaves could not be returned to their ex-owners.
Meanwhile the Proclamation allowed slavery to continue in the four slave-states that had not joined the Confederacy.
