The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, declared that all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. While it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, it fundamentally changed the status of enslaved African Americans by making emancipation a central goal of the Civil War. It also allowed for the enlistment of African American soldiers in the Union Army, further empowering them and contributing to the fight for their freedom. Ultimately, the Proclamation laid the groundwork for the eventual abolition of slavery with the 13th Amendment in 1865.

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 Northern government - because they no longer had to worry about Britain and France aiding the South. (After the Proclamation, it would have made them look as though were pro-slavery.)
