sep 22, 1862 - Emancipation Proclamation

Description:

Turning point: the war becomes about slavery rather than secession
“Slaves in all states still in rebellion would be freed on Jan. 1, 1863”
If border states secede, their slaves are free
Not actually trying to free slaves, trying to convince CSA states to rejoin the Union and make the war about slavery
