Emancipation ProclomationLincoln for the past year realized he could
not avoid slavery issue – but needs a victory so it does not look like desperation
Use AntietamSaid all slaves are free in the rebelling
statesNot free in Border statesActually, did not really free anyone
However, still a turning point b/c it redefined the war for the North – now it is about slavery

Proclamation?Who were the South’s two most brilliant
generals?
