The Emancipation Proclaimation is one of the US's most influential documents of history. It depicts a time of complete desperation and a war that would change the attitudes of the United States. In this document, Lincoln freed all slaves in the Union. However none of the slaves that were in the surrounding borders of in states that had already left were freed. While this document was attacked, it made the war an internal conflict. Forever ending the idea of outside influence in the civil war.
