Historical Argument
The Emancipation Proclamation was a big turning point in history. The emancipation Proclamation did not only free the slaves in the south but made it ok for blacks to join in the union forces. If Abraham Lincoln did not write the Emancipation Proclamation then there would still probably be slaves today. All of the people in the cabinet thought it was a horrible idea but Lincoln decided to go on with it anyway, I think he made a great decision. Blacks rights are not a problem today but they still get treated like they are not equal, I think every person is equal and no one should have the right to bully someone for the color of there skin.The Emancipation Proclamation was not only a turning point then, it is still a turning point today. It is a turning point today because it is why the world is like it is today. It also gave the north another reason to win the war. It changed from defeating the south to freeing slaves.
