22 сент 1862 г. - Emancipation Proclamation

Описание:

Summary: Did not include slaves in the border states that had remained in the Union or slaves in the parts of the Confederate states already occupied by the Union
Outcome: Few slaves were actually freed – no immediate effect because Confederate States did not act on Lincoln’s order
Significance: Lincoln’s proclamation would be the Federal Government’s 1st official step toward the abolition of human slavery
