Emancipation Proclamation• Morale is waning• Following one of the few Union victories – Battle of
Antietam (creek)– September 17, 1862– Bloodiest single day in American history
• Lincoln uses the victory to restore faith in the Union, rally troops/volunteers and to change to character of the Civil War– Union goal (in addition to keeping the Union together);
now the mission was to end slavery

Emancipation Proclamation• Applied only to states that had seceded from the Union
• Allowing slavery in the border states that remained with the Union side throughout the war effort (MD, DE, KY, MO)
• Exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already fallen under Union control
• Announced the acceptance of black men into the Union Army and Navy (enabling the liberated to be liberators) – first African American regiment 54th Massachusetts

Emancipation Proclamation• Is Lincoln the Confederate president?• Does the Confederacy believe it has to listen

Emancipation Proclamation• In reality the Emancipation Proclamation did not free
a single slave because the South did not recognize the statement as binding
• Transformed the character of the war – In addition to trying to reunite the Union, Lincoln now was slowly ending the institution of slavery
• Added a moral force to the Union cause and strengthened the Union both militarily and politically (Northerners felt more unified)
