The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, declared that all enslaved people in Confederate states were to be set free. It aimed to weaken the Confederacy's war effort by depriving it of labor and also allowed for the recruitment of Black soldiers into the Union Army. While it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, it was a significant step toward the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States. The Proclamation also transformed the Civil War into a fight for freedom, aligning the Union's war goals with the cause of emancipation.
