jan 1, 1863 - Emancipation Proclamation

Description:

This declared that all slaves in rebellion states were free. Therefore, this was a limited emancipation because it did not free all slaves, but African Americans and abolitionists still celebrated it as a victory because it was seen as the first step towards the ending of slavery.
