What was Abraham Lincoln’s Reason behind the Emancipation Proclamation?
On Janurary 1st 1863 Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation only applied to rebellious states. Stating “that all persons held as slaves, within the rebellious states are, and henceforward shall be free.” It was said that Abraham Lincoln was always against slavery, but was this truly done for that reason or to make the union stronger? Was this solely a war tactic, or did Abraham Lincoln truly want to abolish slavery, and who supported the Emancipation Proclamation?
