The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, primarily affected enslaved people in the Confederate states. While it was a nationwide decree, key cities associated with its impact include Washington, D.C., where the proclamation was signed, and cities in the South like New Orleans and Richmond, which were significant centers of the Confederacy. However, it did not free enslaved individuals in border states or areas under Union control.

What year was the emanicipation?

The final form of the Emancipation Proclamation (the thing I assume you're asking about) was issued on January 1, 1863, to take effect immediately. Lincoln issued the 'preliminary proclamation' on September 22, 1862, announcing this plan.In practice, the emancipation took place over time, from this point to the end of the war, as Union armies were able to take control of Confederate territories and free their slaves. (In other cases, the slaves themselves escaped and the Union army was charged with accepting & protecting them, no longer returning them to their former masters.) The last place the Proclamation reached was Texas - on June 19, 1865. This became celebrated as Emancipation Day of "Juneteenth" from then on.Also to be considered - slaves in Washington D.C. (the only place the federal government could legislate on the subject) were freed by a bill passed and signed in April 1862. It went into effect the day it was signed -- April 16 of that year -- and this date thereafter was recognized as "Emancipation Day" in the district.
