Lincoln had to hold together coalitions before and during the war. Remember that not all of the slave states seceded which was due to Lincoln's smooth talk. He made the Proclamation, he said, just as soon as it was politically possible and he was probably right. A few months earlier and it may have sunk the Union and any chance of finally ending slavery. People throw around individual quotes without context but the truth is Lincoln was defined in his time by everyone as anti-slavery.

[@jupiterrhotspot2005]

Yeah and the slaves were only freed in the csa (ironic since for two years that couldn’t be enforced)

[@satidog]

@@jupiterrhotspot2005 It wasn't ironic because the war itself was the legal rationale for the Emancipation. It wasn't just "I'm president, slavery is over." Read up on the legality of it. Lincoln was trying to stay within the Constitution and the Constitution didn't forbid slavery yet. But the slave states were in rebellion and waging war against the Constitution so he used war powers to end slavery in states that were in rebellion. And it was partially enforced from the start because everywhere Union armies went enslaved people broke free and escaped to their lines. Depriving the rebels of their labor while they waged war against the nation was the rationale for it. That's why it was so important to Lincoln to get the 13th Amendment passed before the end of the war. He knew Emancipation itself wasn't enough to really end slavery. It wasn't legally binding in the nation, it was just a war measure.

It is also notable in that the logic I stated in the previous comment also allowed Abe to make the proclamation without the consent of Congress, as the President, as the General of the Armies, could freely dictate the policy of the American military. It's the kind of beautiful logic that any lawyer or RPG player can be proud of. As a side note, I'm amused at how they talked about Sherman's strategy in such an oblique way so that they could get away with talking about it on a children's show.

[@kenlandon6130]

The proclamation was made under the powers given by Section 9 of the Confiscation Act of 1862 and Section 4 of the Confiscation Act of 1861. Section 4: "SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That whenever hereafter, during the present insurrection against the Government of the United States, any person claimed to be held to labor or service under the law of any State, shall be required or permitted by the person to whom such labor or service is claimed to be due, or by the lawful agent of such person, to take up arms against the United States, or shall be required or permitted by the person to whom such labor or service is claimed to be due, or his lawful agent, to work or to be employed in or upon any fort, navy yard, dock, armory, ship, entrenchment, or in any military or naval service whatsoever, against the Government and lawful authority of the United States, then, and in every such case, the person to whom such labor or service is claimed to be due shall forfeit his claim to such labor, any law of the State or of the United States to the contrary notwithstanding. And whenever thereafter the person claiming such labor or service shall seek to enforce his claim, it shall be a full and sufficient answer to such claim that the person whose service or labor is claimed had been employed in hostile service against the Government of the United States, contrary to the provisions of this act. " Section 9: "And be it further enacted, That all slaves of persons who shall hereafter be engaged in rebellion against the government of the United States, or who shall in any way give aid or comfort thereto, escaping from such persons and taking refuge within the lines of the army; and all slaves captured from such persons or deserted by them and coming under the control of the government of the United States; and all slaves of such person found on [or] being within any place occupied by rebel forces and afterwards occupied by the forces of the United States, shall be deemed captives of war, and shall be forever free of their servitude, and not again held as slaves."

[@RequiemRelentless]

Calling the Emancipation Proclamation as ending slavery is inaccurate. Lincoln declared that southern slaves, as property, could be claimed as spoils of war, and then, he continued, that it would be the policy of the union army to then release the aforementioned slaves as free men. It was a glorious ideological attack that didn't piss off the slave-holding states that remained in the Union, which was important, because Washington, D.C. was surrounded by slave-holding states. It works though.

[@GrandAdmiralThrawn.7th_Fleet]

I thought the same thing, it wasn't completely abolished until the 13th Amendment, which I also fought to pass, but that's beside the point. Crediting the Emancipation Proclamation for the end of slavery, is indeed inaccurate.

[@forzaacmilan36]

@@GrandAdmiralThrawn.7th_FleetThe proclamation emancipation practically ended it tho. By that point there was no chance of states retaining slaves after the war

[@GrandAdmiralThrawn.7th_Fleet]

@@forzaacmilan36 Financially no. You are correct in that the South could not have sustained their economy with the slave trade as many countries would have sactioned them and refused to trade with them. However, until the ratification of 13th Amendment, legally they had every right to continue the trade and very well could have because until after their surrender, Union laws meant nothing to them as they were a confederacy. Long story short, The Emancipation Proclamation was mainly a political move by Lincoln as a morale boost to the Union forces. It turned the war into less about bringing the Confederate states back into the Union, to abolishing the institution of slavery in all American territories.

[@kamauparker9242]

this is soooooo inaccurate though...

[@JetStream0509]

What do you mean?

[@snowstorm9818]

for one thing, it says that the emancipation proclamation ended slavery, but it was far from that. It didn't make slavery illegal, or even free all slaves, that wasn't until the 13th amendment passed much later. The emancipation proclamation freed all the slaves currently in the confederate states, but it didn't make new ones illegal necessarily, nor did it affect slave states that stayed in the union like Maryland. It may seem counterintuitive to say that all the slaves in a country you weren't even in control of were now free, but what it essentially meant was that any runaway slave who made it to the Union lines would be guaranteed their freedom, not just sent back to the south as they so often were. The only reason lincoln was even able to do this was because by depleting the southern workforce it could be considered related to the war effort, meaning that Lincoln could use a wartime executive order to do something far outside what the president normally could.

No need to invalidate the concerns of others. They care about something that you don't. That doesn't mean they're overly sensitive crybabies.

California was annexed by the United States after the Mexican-American War in 1848. It was at that time that gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill, causing the California Gold Rush. The big rush of miners in 1849 gave rise to the term 'forty-niners.' California was officially adopted as a state of the Union in 1850.

Actually, the Civil War was, like many wars, about money. Tariffs, specifically. Also, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave. It didn't affect slaves in Union-occupied territories or the Union-loyal border states. The E.P. was simply an attempt to place the Union on a moral high ground and to preven France and Britain from intervening. Even Lincoln and Grant admitted that the war was not about slavery.
