The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, declaring all slaves in Confederate states to be free. While it had limited immediate effects due to enforceability, it fundamentally changed the nature of the Civil War by adding the goal of abolishing slavery. The proclamation also allowed African Americans to join the Union Army, further impacting the war effort.
