5-2 Final Project Milestone Two: Introduction, Outline, and Bibliography
Introduction:
The Emancipation Proclamation brought forth a multitude of changes that some believe acted as fuel during the Civil War. “And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and
parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free.”
1
These words would strike fear into the southern states and have them worried about the potential impacts the Emancipation Proclamation would have on their lives. As the Civil War waged on between the Confederate and
the Union Armies, the introduction of the Emancipation Proclamation became a turning point for
the Union. They always supported the abolishment of slavery and when the Emancipation Proclamation was set into place it made the popularity of the northern states grow because they sympathized with enslaved people and wanted to put a stop to that. Ultimately, the Union gained victory over the Confederates in the Civil War because of their manpower and access to better transportation, but the Emancipation Proclamation afforded them a thrust in the right direction to securing victories over the Confederate Army. The Emancipation Proclamation was a pivotal turning point during the Civil War as it shifted the focus of the Civil War to that of freedom, afforded military opportunities within the Union Army to newly freed black men, and was the initial steppingstone toward the total abolition of slavery within the United States. 1
