Emancipation Proclamation was historically, immensely significant; without it, our country would be completely different.
His most noted proclamation was the Emancipation Proclamation, ending slavery in the states that had seceeded. (Not in the states still in the Union. I assume you mean that and not the Gettysburg Address, his most famous speech.
