Who created the Emancipation Proclamation?
President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the U.S., issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. The Civil War was a war of contradictions. The South seceded to perpetuate slavery and instead ended up destroying it. North vowed not to interfere with slavery and won sufficient support to kill it. Unlike many abolitionists, President Lincoln understood he couldn't eliminate slavery without first saving the union. And unlike many conservative Republicans and Democrats, he realized he couldn't save the union without eliminating slavery.

Should the Civil war be seen as a war to save the Union or as a war to free the slaves Why?
My version is Lincoln and everyone else in the North wanted to do away with slavery. The South's economy depended on slaves to work the cotton fields. When Lincoln came up with the Emancipation Proclamation, the document that freed the slaves, the south reacted with rage and rebelled. When they seceded from the Union, the Civil War started.
What events occurred once Abraham Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation?
The civil war wasn't even about slavery, at first. The main issue about the civil war was state's rights. The main reason President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation was because he feared that the British were going to side with the Confederacy. Lincoln famously replied on 22nd August, "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it." By making the war a fight against slavery, Britain and France were politically unable to strongly support the south. Slavery was very unpopular in Britain and had been banned 30 years earlier. The French national slogan "Liberty - Fraternity - Equality" would be violated by slavery. Neither government (France or Britain) wanted to risk the wrath of its own population.
