The most controversial document in Abraham Lincoln’s presidency was the Emancipation Proclamation. It was met with both hostility and jubilation by the North. The proclamation declares that everybody that was held as slaves within the rebellious states,the southern states in rebellion, were going to be free. Most people do not know that it was written twice.
Events were going as planed in the first year of the war. In the second year of the war, the battles’ results were too ugly due to the incompatibility between the new weapons and the old war tactics with no concrete signs of possible future improvement. Therefore, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation in September 1862, despite opposition even from some Northerners. Lincoln declared war for the sake of union. Southerners were motivated to secession by their greed for control and the fear at the same time of the Northerners domination.
In the history textbooks of today’s educational institution, within the pages somewhere you can locate it stating either directly or indirectly that Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. Although that point is arguably true, you have to analyze his true motives and reasoning behind the emancipation proclamation. It’s understood that the primary object of the civil war was to preserve and restore the union over all states. Although, this was arguably the original reason, a disclosure made by Colonel Baldwin of the aims of the head of that party, are sufficient to prove that the real purpose was for other than the fabrication - to enlarge and perpetuate the power of his faction. Before the Civil war began Abraham Lincoln was clear about his focal
Allen Guelzo and Vincent Harding approached Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the eventual abolition of slavery from two very different viewpoints. The major disagreement between them is whether the slaves freed themselves, or Abraham Lincoln and his Emancipation Proclamation freed them. Harding argued the former view, Guelzo took the later. When these essays are compared side by side Guelzo’s is stronger because, unlike Harding, he was able to keep his own views of American race relations out of the essay and presented an argument that was based on more than emotion. Allen Guelzo
The civil war was not started in an attempt to abolish slavery, but to reunify the United States. Many of the slaves didn’t see it this way. They saw it as a way to freedom. General Benjamin F. Butler would take in the slaves as “contraband of war” since they were seen as property to the south. In 1861, the First Confiscation Act authorized the members of the union to confiscate any property the confederates were using to assist them in the war.
Throughout his presidency, Abraham Lincoln 16th president of the United States of America and of the Whig Party, has encountered issues regarding slavery. Among the historians and the people he has gained surnames such as The Great Emancipator or The Gradual Emancipacionist, which echoes to his behavior during his time in power of the United States. For some he was a president with moral values and represented a man of real virtues. However, Abraham Lincoln did not act only towards his moral and political principles, he is also described as a strategic commander in chief.

By July 1862, the Union army was having an extremely difficult time gaining any victories or advances in the Civil War. After many, many losses to the Confederate Army, Lincoln was desperate to find a way to recruit soldiers that would be of help to the Union. After the bombardment of Fort Sumter, Lincoln’s fist concern was the preservation of the United States. Amrita Chakrabarti Myers, associate professor of history in the Indiana University Bloomington College of Arts and Science, stated that, “Lincoln was clear that this was not about slaves. It was about the Union and whatever he needed to do to save the Union, he would do.”
The Emancipation Proclamation is perhaps the most misunderstood document that has shaped American history. Contradictory to the legend, Abraham Lincoln did not simply free four million slaves with a stroke of his pen. The proclamation barely ensured the eventual death of slavery, the matter left as a possibility - assuming the Union won the war. In reality, the Emancipation Proclamation was no more than an act of propaganda, issued for the purpose of weakening the Confederacy and assuring Union victory. July 1862, Congress established 2 laws based on the premise of weakening the Confederacy.
This executive order, issued by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, holds immense significance due to its role in the abolition of slavery, its influence on the nation's moral fabric, and its lasting effects on the evolution of the United States as a nation.

The Short and Long Term Political Effects of the Emancipation Proclamation The Emancipation Proclamation or Proclamation 95, signed and passed by president Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, was an executive order that changed the federal legal status of more than 3 to 4 million enslaved people in the designated areas of the South from slave to free. With the freedom of slaves across several rebellious states whose economies ran on slavery, the reception of the order was far from exceptional. The Proclamation ordered the freedom of all slaves in ten states, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas and North Carolina, and because it was issued under the president's authority to suppress rebellion,
Somebody once remarked, “No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent” (“Abraham Lincoln Quotes"). At the initial view, the Civil War was going to be won by the South. Nonetheless, all that changed when Abraham Lincoln constructed the Emancipation Proclamation because it did not solely free slaves, it further altered antiquity for the salutary and assisted the North in the war, which led to their triumph. The Emancipation Proclamation was Abraham Lincoln’s greatest achievement as president.
The Gettysburg Address is known to be one of America’s greatest speeches made by the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. The Gettysburg Address and Emancipation Proclamation made a significant contribution to history by recognizing all humans as equals, redefining the nation at the time, and changing the course of American history by abolishing slavery. There was strife between the North and the South of America, because of slavery.

On September 2nd, 1862, Abraham Lincoln famously signed the Emancipation Proclamation. After that, there’s been much debate on whether Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation truly played a role in freeing the slaves with many arguments opposing or favoring this issue. In Vincent Harding’s essay, The Blood-red Ironies of God, Harding argues in his thesis that Lincoln did not help to emancipate the slaves but that rather the slaves “self-emancipated” themselves through the war. On the opposition, Allen C Guelzo ’s essay, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in America, argues in favor of the Emancipation Proclamation and Guelzo acknowledges Lincoln for the abolishment of slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation.
