New Year's Day in 1863 marked the beginning of freedom for slaves
in the United States.
On this day, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation
thereby freeing ... well, absolutely no one.
The document made free all the slaves in any area still at war with the North.
Unfortunately, those states - as evidenced by the fact that they were, ya
know, fighting a war with the North at the time - weren't exactly doing what
the North wanted.
However, the document changed the purpose of the war in the eyes of many.
No longer was it a war of secession versus unification, it was now also a war
of pro-slavery versus anti-slavery, impacting both domestic and foreign
sentiment and effectively ending international aid for the South.
