What battle made Abraham Lincoln say that he would end slavery in the south if the war continued?
Antietam (Sharpsburg) was the Union vixctory in September 1862 that gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, liberating the slaves in the rebel-states - in theory, but not of course in practice, since he did not control those states.
What were Lincoln's two major achievements?
Two of Lincolns major achievements were that he was a strong leader during the Civil War and the issue of the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln was also very successful in foreign policy.
What happend in the civil war in 1862?
The most significant event was the Union victory at Antietam. That gave Lincoln the excuse he had been waiting for to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
Who urged Lincoln to free the slaves as a war tactic?
Abraham Lincoln was an anti-slavery candidate in 1860. He had every intention of freeing the slaves as soon as it was possible. However, history records that Frederick Douglass encouraged Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation as a war tactic.
What were some of jobs Frederick Douglass had acquired?
He worked as an enlistment officer and encouraged President Lincoln to make Emancipation an issue in the Civil War. Also, as most of you already know, he was a leader in regional and national suffrage organizations.
