emancipation proclaimation was in what year?

http://blackhistory....ilWarTimeline.htm

July 1862 - Congress authorizes the president to enlist black military recruits, but Lincoln does not call for a general mobilization of blacks.

President Lincoln informs his cabinet that he plans to issue an emancipation proclamation. Secretary of State William Henry Seward convinces him to wait until after a major Union victory.

September 1862 - Union forces repel Confederate General Robert E. LeeÂs invasion of the North at Antietam, Maryland. Lee retreats back to Virginia.

Following the desired Union victory at Antietam, Lincoln announces the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. If the Confederacy does not surrender by January 1, 1863, the president will free all the slaves in Confederate territory. If the Confederate states do surrender, then their slaves will not be freed.

January 1, 1863 - The Emancipation Proclamation goes into effect. All the slaves in Confederate territory are declared free. The policy does not apply to the border states or to Southern territory held by the Union before January 1. Henceforth, as Union troops advance across the South, thousands of slaves are freed. The Emancipation Proclamation also reaffirms the presidentÂs authority to enlist black servicemen, and initiates an effort to organize all-black regiments. Nearly 200,000 black men will serve as Union soldiers, sailors, or laborers.

March 1863 - Congress passes the Enrollment Act, creating a military draft. (The Confederacy had resorted to a draft in April 1862.)

Summer 1863 - In response to implementation of the military draft, bloody riots erupt in cities across the North. The worst occurs in New York City, where mobs demolish draft offices, lynch several blacks, and destroy large sections of the city.

July 3-5, 1863 - Confederate General LeeÂs second invasion of the North is checked by Union troops at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Lee once again retreats to Virginia. Confederate forces surrender to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Vicksburg. The Union now controls the Mississippi River, geographically dividing the Confederacy. The dual victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg are considered a major turning point in the war.

June 1864 - Congress repeals the Fugitive Slave Law.

November 1864 - Lincoln wins reelection against the Democratic presidential nominee, Union General George B. McClellan.

January 1865 - Congress passes the proposed 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which bans slavery in the entire United States.

April 1865 - Lincoln is assassinated, and Vice President Andrew Johnson succeeds to the presidency.

The Civil War ends with Confederate General Robert E. LeeÂs surrender to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Virginia.

December 1865 - The requisite number of states ratify the 13th Amendment, and it becomes part of the Constitution.

I posted the previous comment to indicate that compensation was offered to slave owners, at least in some cases. The "War of Northern Aggression" wasn't about impoverishing the South.

Freedom for the slaves came in stages depending on various things, as indicated above.

HTH.

Cheers,
Scott.

He has arrived at a kind of zenlike state, all koan all the time—or to switch hemispheres, a kind of platonic ideal of contrarianism. No countervailing argument can touch him: he will blithely contradict. I would despise marlowe for this, but box, I am becoming convinced, is an artiste. http://www.youtube.c...tch?v=teMlv3ripSM cordially,

Post #342,559 by lincoln 5/12/11 8:10:51 PM Reply	Who ever said it wasn't? President Lincoln made it pretty clear that it was all about keeping the country in one piece and about eliminating slavery also. That, to the best of my knowledge, has never been in dispute. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

You won the war, so you get to rewrite history. But, what did old Abe say himself? My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. A. Lincoln, Letter to Horace Greeley, August 22, 1862.
