The primary document the president wrote to free the slaves was the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. This executive order declared the freedom of all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory during the Civil War. While it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, it was a significant step towards the abolition of slavery and laid the groundwork for the eventual passage of the 13th Amendment.
