Abraham Lincoln did not have a middle name-- Abraham Lincoln was his full name.
The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, declared the freedom of enslaved people in Confederate states, but it did not directly imply that African Americans supported themselves. Rather, it was a pivotal step toward ending slavery and allowed formerly enslaved individuals to seek opportunities for work and independence. Many African Americans did take on roles as laborers, soldiers, and entrepreneurs following their emancipation, contributing to their self-sufficiency over time. However, the Proclamation itself was primarily a wartime measure aimed at weakening the Confederacy and did not immediately grant full economic independence to African Americans.
The southerners reacted to the Emancipation Proclamation by starting attacks and being full of rage, because if their slaves escaped the Northerners could set them free because if the Union set them free then the slaves had to join the army or navy on the Union (North) side.
The answer is both yes and no. The Emancipation Proclamation was a strategic move by Lincoln to break the slave-driven economy by the south, enacted after the devastating draw at the Battle of "Bloody" Antietam (near Sharpsburg, Maryland, September 17, 1862) The Emancipation Proclamation, dated September 22, 1862 (to take effect on January 1, 1863) would release the slaves in ONLY the thirteen Confederate states in open rebellion; slavery would still be legal in the Union "border" states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware until the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865. A full text of the Emancipation Proclamation can be found on the National Archives' website below.
Contrary to popular belief, the Emancipation Proclamation's goal was not really to free slaves. It stated that all slaves in the 10 rebelling states were free. You see the problem here? With no control over the Confederacy, the Emancipation Proclamation had little effect on the slaves in the South. The Proclamation made freeing slaves an explicit goal of the Union war effort, and was a step towards outlawing slavery and conferring full citizenship upon ex-slaves.

The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, declared the freedom of all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory, but it did not immediately end slavery throughout the United States. It specifically applied to states in rebellion and exempted border states loyal to the Union. Full abolition of slavery was ultimately achieved with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in 1865, which legally abolished slavery in all states. Thus, while the Proclamation was a significant step toward emancipation, it was not the final measure that ended slavery.

No, the war began in April 12, 1861 when confederate troops fired the first shots at the Union fort in Charleston harbor, South Carolina.
