put a stop to the war. It was issued in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C.

on Sept 22,1862, and put into effect on Jan 1, 1863.

When Lincoln was writing the emancipation proclamation he said, "

my main struggle is to save the union and is not either to save or 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 slaves I would do it. And if I could save

it by saving some and leaving the others I would also do that...." Lincoln

said that because he wanted to save the union without picking sides. The

Emancipation Proclamation involved the President, congress for approving

the document, and the American people.

Some causes of the Emancipation Proclamation were Lincoln's

personal beliefs on the issues of slavery. He believed it was morally wrong

for any person to own another person as property. He also issued the

proclamation as a way to win greater support of the northern states. He

issued it as a way to bring an end to the Civil War that was

could have affected whether he had written it or not because he was brought

nation and also to free up former slaves to join the enlisted forces in the

probably would have joined the confederacy and the south would have

armies met along the Antietam creek and battled all day long. There were

might have carried on longer. If Lincoln included the Border States they

up in a family having a strong distaste for slavery so he was against it.
