Only Southern slaves were freed primarily due to the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, which declared the freedom of slaves in Confederate-held territories during the Civil War. This was a strategic wartime measure aimed at weakening the Confederacy and bolstering the Union's moral cause. Northern states had already abolished slavery or were on the path to doing so, thus the focus on the South was specifically tied to the conflict and its implications for the future of the nation.
