Slaves in the War-Deborah-Oliver A.

 The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln in January of 1863. This allowed slaves to run away and or be free. It only let the slaves be free  if they were under the  Federal Governments control. So only the ones in the north. The whole nation ended slavery in December of 1865.
