The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865, which means he was killed a little over two years after the proclamation was issued. This document marked a significant turning point in the Civil War, changing the focus towards abolition and impacting the course of American history.
