The Emancipation Proclamation was a Proclamation that Abraham Lincoln wrote, that completely changed the war. In this Proclamation, he stated that all slaves in the rebelling states would be free. Since those rebelling states were frighting to become an entirely different country, Abraham Lincoln could not just simply tell them what to do. Before the Proclamation was put in place, the main war issues was to try and keep the Union together, after it was put in place though, one of the bigger war issues was concerning slavery.  |

Gettysburg was one if not the most important battles in the Civil War, this battle lasted 3 days, and more soldiers were killed than in any other battle. The rebels traveled into enemy territory hoping to surprise the Union army and call for peace. They were hoping to do this by either capturing a huge northern city, or to destroy part of the Union army. The Confederate Army ended up retreating back to Virginia, leaving the Union with a victory title.
