  9. Historiography of the Emancipation Proclamation

  10. Francis Carpenter

  11. The Emancipation Proclamation • Why the delay? • The Peninsula Defeat – made it clear that extraordinary means were necessary to save the Union and Antietam gave Lincoln the opening to deal with slavery • Confederacy use of slaves – dug trenches and built fortifications; cooks and hospital attendants, which freed up the soldiers to fight • Lincoln’s plan – divest the rebels of their slaves – who would be free to join the Union forces and provide the North an advantage • Turning Point???

  12. Emancipation Proclamation • Emancipation and the Constitution • Lincoln concurred with abolitionists that slavery was a moral, a social, and a political wrong, but… • Could not ignore the constitutional protection of the institution where it existed.

  13. William Seward “the ablest American diplomatist of the century.”
