Abraham Lincoln radically changed the nature of the Civil War on this day 161 years ago

49With his announcement of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. Given as an ultimatum on September 22, 1863, it promised that if the states in rebellion against the Federal government failed to return to the Union by January 1, 1863, the slaves in those states would be forever freed from servitude.
This was a bombshell that had been in the planning stages since the first half of 1862. Lincoln had even presented his Cabinet with an early draft of the Emancipation Proclamation back in July. However, they had advised him to wait on a major victory in the field so as to give it some legitimacy.
That victory came on September 17 in the form of the Battle of Antietam Creek. Five days later, 161 years ago today, Lincoln transformed the American Civil War from a fight to preserve the Union into a fight to free four million Americans from the captivity of perpetual slavery.

Congress and the states freed all the slaves with the 13th Amendment. That certainly helped clear up any possible legal issues with the Emancipation Proclimation.

on 9/22/23 at 11:01 am to RollTide1987I’m digging all the downvotes from the neo-Confederates on here. It’s been 160 years and ya’ll are still not over this war. My great-great-great grandfather fought with the 31st Alabama at Vicksburg. He named his first son after my great-great-great uncle who fought at Gettysburg with the 14th Alabama and who was killed at Bloody Angle during the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. Despite all of that, I’m 100% over it and can think about the war both rationally and objectively.

They're mad because their ancestors had their slaves confiscated and freed by the US Army.

Quite an oversimplification of decades of state-by-state abolishment/free state versus non-free state.
Hence, the thirteenth amendment.

We all had ancestors that fought for the South. But the North is not without sin.

on 9/22/23 at 11:05 am to RollTide1987It didn’t cover border states that had not joined the Confederacy (Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri). As well as parts of Virginia (including the counties that would become West Virginia) and Louisiana (Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James, Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans) under Union control and considered no longer in rebellion.

Old Honest Abe is responsible for the deaths of 600,000 Americans.

Former slave traders of the north no longer needed them as they had plenty of immigrant families to exploit in their factories.

Don’t you dare bring logic with legitimate proof into the conversation about souther oppression.
