the emancipation proclamation
The Battle of Antietam was very important to the Emancipation Proclamation because it was the final battle of the Civil War. The treaty was signed at Antietam Courthouse and the Emancipation Proclamation declared slaves free, which was the whole point in the Civil War.
It ceased to be relevant when the slaves in the Upper South (which was exempted from the terms of the Proclamation) were liberated after the war.
Slaves were freed on December 18, 1865, after the civil war. The 13th amendment freed them.
