The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It declared the freedom of all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory. Although it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, it marked a significant turning point in the Civil War and laid the groundwork for the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States.
