The American Civil War began as a conflict primarily over states' rights and the preservation of the Union, but it evolved into a war of liberation with the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. This proclamation declared the freedom of all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory, framing the war as a fight not only to reunite the nation but also to end slavery. By the war's conclusion in 1865, the liberation of enslaved individuals had become a central goal, fundamentally transforming the conflict's purpose.
