Why don't you use a search engine like Google to begin your research instead of asking others to do your work for you? Good idea, huh??

The Emancipation Proclamation was a part of a great political triumph for Abraham Lincoln whose Union armies had won a narrow victory at Antietam on September 21,1862. He declared in the Proclamation that any slave that was held in Confederate states were free. It actually did not free any state because that had to be done by the XIII amendment of the constitution but it was a political masterpiece because it gave the Union a psychological stance that it did not possess namely the end of slavery instead of only preserving the Union. It brought the North to a greater degree of unity and put away the Northern Democrats the opportunity to take over the Congress and sue the South for peace by and large to end to what they believed an unpopular ,unwinnable war .
