<h3>What was the Emancipation Proclamation?</h3>

The Emancipation Proclamation was a presidential proclamation and executive order issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the Civil War which was aimed at freeing all slaves who were fighting against the Union.

According to Abraham Lincoln, he declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."

This was strategically done because most of the slaves resided in the south and they formed a significant number of the fighting population.
