It is true. On January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of civil war, President Abraham Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation. The preliminary Proclamation was issued the year before, on September 22nd. It declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the Southern rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."
