On August 16, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, a move aimed at freeing slaves in the rebelling Southern states during the American Civil War. The proclamation was initially issued as a preliminary announcement in 1862 and included a list of ten federal states to which it applied.

While the proclamation was a critical step toward abolition, full freedom for slaves in the South was not realized until after the conclusion of the Civil War with the ratification of the 13th Amendment.
