The correct answer is: "Emancipation Proclamation"

This changed on September 22, 1862, when President Abraham Lincoln issued a preliminary version of the Proclamation of Emancipation in which he declared that as of January 1, 1863 slaves in those states or parts of the states still in rebellion would be free One hundred days later, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring that "all persons held as slaves" in the rebel zones "are, and will henceforth be, free."

Answer 2

The correct answer is " Emancipation Proclamation "

Explanation

The Emancipation Proclamation, or Proclamation 95, was given by United States President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863.

The Proclamation ordered the freedom of all slaves in ten states. Because it was issued under the president's authority to suppress rebellion , it necessarily excluded areas not in rebellion, but still applied to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million slaves. It changed the federal legal status of these enslaved African Americans in the  South areas from slavery.

The Proclamation also ordered that ex-slaves could be enrolled into the paid service of United States' forces, and ordered the Union Army  to recognize and maintain the freedom of the ex-slaves. . It made the eradication of slavery an explicit war goal, in addition to the goal of reuniting the Union.
