- Description
- The victory at Antietam was won on September 17, and the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation came forth on the 22nd. It was Lincoln’s own resolution and act; but practically it bound the nation, and permitted no step backward. In spite of its limitations, it was the actual abolition of slavery. Thus he wrote his name upon the books of history with the title dearest to his heart, -the liberator of the slave.
