What Major Event Marked The End Of The Cold War In 1989?
Did You Know!
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War. It declared that all slaves in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. While it didn't immediately free all slaves, as it only applied to areas under Confederate control, it marked a significant step towards the abolition of slavery in the United States.
