"Lincoln believed that true liberty could not permit slavery. He decided to use his wartime powers as commander in chief to end slavery.
In the third year of the war, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation. It freed over three million black men, women, and children and called for black men to join the Union army."
"In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free."
