Emancipation ProclamationSlide4
Abraham Lincoln
“I never, in my life, felt more certain that I was doing right, than I do in signing this
paper. If
my name ever goes into history it will be for this act, and my whole soul is in it."Slide5
The Emancipation Proclamation
September
1862 – January 1, 1863
What is his purpose?
What is he
proclaiming
?
Where did emancipation apply?Slide6
Does Lincoln have the Constitutional authority to abolish slavery?
How did the E.P. change the
course of the war?Slide7
The Emancipation Proclamation was a firm demonstration of the President’s executive war powers.
Lincoln justified the Emancipation Proclamation as a “fit and necessary war measure”.
He claimed this was a war measure necessary to disable an enemy that was waging war against the United States.
Lincoln also declared that the Proclamation would be enforced under his power as Commander-in-Chief, and that the freedom of the slaves would be maintained by the “Executive government of the United States.”Slide8
The Emancipation Proclamation changed the focus of the war.
Up until September 1862, the main focus of the war had been to preserve the Union. With the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation freedom for slaves now became a legitimate war aim.Slide9

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great
battlefield
of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that
field
, as a final resting
place
for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—
this ground
. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled
her
e
, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say
here
, but it can never forget what they did
here
. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated
here
to the unfinished work which they who fought
here
have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be
here
dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we
here
highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom— and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
