The emancipation proclamation was a document written in the United States of America, (Union) during the Civil War. It mainly stated that the slaves in the Confederacy were now freed. However, it did not free the slaves in the border states (Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Delaware) because Lincoln knew they would secede and the Union would not win the civil war. The Emancipation Proclamation changed the way the Union thought about the war. At first, the reason for fighting was to preserve the Union and keep the country together, but afterwards, the goals had changed to free the slaves of the south.
