Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1, 1863, declared that all enslaved people in the Confederate states were to be set free. This shifted the Civil War's focus to include the abolition of slavery as a goal, empowering enslaved individuals to escape and join Union forces. While it did not immediately free all enslaved people, it significantly bolstered the morale and hopes of those in bondage, inspiring many to take action for their liberation. Additionally, the proclamation paved the way for the eventual passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery nationwide.
