Lincoln Finalizes the Emancipation Proclamation Draft (1862)

On November 20, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln submitted the final draft of the Emancipation Proclamation to his Cabinet. This version (refined after months of debate) would go into effect on January 1, 1863, declaring that enslaved people in Confederate-held territories “shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.”

Though limited in immediate reach, the proclamation transformed the Union’s purpose in the Civil War and paved the way for the Thirteenth Amendment.
