(which freed all slaves), was not issued tell several years after the start of the Civil

War. The actual official start of the War was when the Confederates opened fire

on Fort Sumter./// For the sake of accuracy, a couple of corrections are needed. The word to describe states severing ties with the Union is "secede". Also, a careful reading of the Emancipation Proclamation will reveal that it only freed(in word only) the slaves in those states which had seceded from the Union. It said nothing of freeing the slaves in the so-called "border states"(Missouri,Kentucky,Maryland,Delaware). These states had slavery but did not secede.
