Summary

In 1862, the American Civil War was underway, actively tearing the United States apart. At the start of the war, President Abraham Lincoln's main goal was preserving the Union, but he was now ready to make a stand on slavery. The Emancipation Proclamation was one of the most important documents of its time, but its contents can be confusing
