The proclamation to fly the flag at half-staff is typically issued by the President of the United States or a state governor. This practice is often used to honor the memory of individuals who have passed away, especially in the case of national tragedies or significant losses. One notable instance was President Abraham Lincoln's proclamation following his assassination in 1865, which called for the flag to be flown at half-staff as a mark of respect.
The Emancipation Proclamation, which was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, could only be enforced in Southern states that were under Union control.
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in Washington, DC, by President Lincoln, and freed those slaves held in territory then in rebellion against the government of the United States of America. As a result, it did not free anyone until Confederate lands were conquered after the Proclamation was signed. Those slaves held in lands already under the control of Union forces were not affected by the Proclamation.
Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing all slaves in states that were in rebellion against the Union. The proclamation was issued in the Fall of 1862 and took effect on January 1, 1863.
