About This Book

The volume examines political and military developments that produced a presidential proclamation freeing enslaved people in rebelling states, presenting the executive's deliberations and the legal measures that enabled emancipation. It outlines proposals debated at the time, including compensated emancipation, colonization plans, and orders to employ Black men for Union military service, alongside reactions from Confederate leaders and Union commanders. The narrative records the public and gubernatorial response in loyal and border states, a formal governors' address endorsing vigorous prosecution of the war, and partisan conflict in Congress over the policy. Concluding sections place the proclamation's reception alongside the supplemental January 1, 1863 declaration and trace how these measures shifted the war's aims while altering the legal status of enslaved people.
