William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States, owned a number of slaves throughout his life, particularly during his time as a planter in Indiana. Estimates suggest he owned around 11 slaves at one point. His views on slavery were complex; while he participated in the institution, he also expressed some opposition to its expansion into new territories. Nonetheless, his legacy remains intertwined with the practice of slavery in early America.
The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, freed many slaves in Confederate states during the American Civil War. This executive order declared all slaves in Confederate-held territory to be legally free. The Proclamation did not immediately free all slaves in the country, but it was a significant step towards the abolition of slavery in the United States.
