Lincoln's step forward was a very big step forward. In 1863, on the first day of January, Lincoln commences the Emancipation proclamation. This proclamation sets all slaves free forever and to stay away from violence unless needed to defend. Lincoln issues this act to all the states with the Union and to all the slaves that support the Union who are in the South. Lincoln issues this address, but not to the rebelled states including: Arkansas, Texas, parts of Louisiana and Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
