Who: President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation

Where: The original of the Emancipation Proclamation is in the National Archives in Washington, DC

When: January 1, 1863

Why: "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."

What: The Proclamation itself freed very few slaves, but it was the death knell for slavery in the United States. Eventually, the Emancipation Proclamation led to the proposal and ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which formally abolished slavery throughout the land. The Proclamation was able to set free some slaves, not all, but it was soon able to abolish slavery for good by helping the union having more power so soon slavery was abolished and all slaves were finally free.
