The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, declared that all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. Although it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, it was a crucial turning point in the Civil War, transforming the conflict into a fight for freedom. The proclamation also allowed for the enlistment of African American soldiers in the Union Army, further bolstering the Union's efforts against the Confederacy. Ultimately, it paved the way for the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States.
