The Emancipation Proclamation
On January 1, 1863 a very important proclamation was written by Abraham Lincoln, it stated that all slaves in the United States shall be forever free! That is, specifically the slaves in states that take part in the rebellion which does not include the states that are pro slavery. The military and authority and the government too will make sure that this proclamation is followed sincerely and that each slave is free and has a right to his/her liberties. This document was proven to be a symbol of justice and social equality among the United States and did not fail to make it stronger. This proclamation not only did that but it also helped to redefine the purpose of war which gave the men who were fighting a greater drive to finally make it to victory.
