The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, transformed the Civil War's focus from solely preserving the Union to also abolishing slavery. It declared all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory to be free, which not only weakened the Confederacy's labor force but also allowed for the enlistment of Black soldiers in the Union Army. This pivotal document laid the groundwork for the eventual passage of the 13th Amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States. Overall, it redefined the war's objectives and significantly advanced the cause of civil rights.
