Why was the Emancipation Proclamation so important?
The emancipation proclamation was a document written in the United States of America, (Union) during the Civil War. It mainly stated that the slaves in the Confederacy were now freed.

The Emancipation Proclamation changed the way the Union thought about the war. At first, the reason for fighting was to preserve the Union and keep the country together, but afterwards, the goals had changed to free the slaves of the south.
