On January 1, 1863, President Abraham
Lincoln issued the Emancipation
Proclamation, declaring that “all persons held
as slaves” within the states in rebellion “are, and
henceorward, shall be ree.” Te step came
just over three months ater the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, issued on September
22, 1862, by the commander-in-chie ollowing a
major victory in the eld, the Battle o Antietam
(Sharpsburg) on September 17, 1862. Te 1863
proclamation changed the nature o the war.
From that point on, every advance o Union troops
expanded the domain o reedom. At the same
time, it is important to understand that enslaved
persons beore and during the war took actions
that directly impacted their liberty, escaping rom
their captors or, in some cases, simply walking
away. Freedom and its ramications shed light o n
the war and on modern American history.
Members o a planning committee within
the North Carolina Oce o Archives
and History, along with colleagues at Wake Forest
University, Winston-Salem State University, and
Old Salem, invite you to join nineteen presenters
on October 17 and 18, 2013, or a conerence to
examine reedom and other legacies o the war.
Subjects to be considered include ree blacks
during the confict, United States Colored roops,
Arican American spies, women, reedmen and
amily, and the lives o noted North Carolinians,
Harriet Jacobs and Abraham Galloway.
Presentations include those by proessors and
graduate students, and selected papers rom a
class o Wake Forest undergraduates. Questionsto be considered include: W hat did emancipation
accomplish and what challenges or reedom
remained? How did Arican Americans take
advantage o the changes brought by the war?
Why is the Civil War important 150 years later?
What is most important to remember about the
Civil War? What lessons can we take rom the
past?
On May 20, 2011, the North Carolina
Oce o Archives and History sponsored
a conerence on the theme o memory at the
North Carolina Museum o History in Raleigh,
with Yale University sc holar David Blight as the
keynote speaker. In the spring o 2015, timed to
coincide with the anniversaries o the all o Fort
Fisher, Sherman’s March, and the close o the
war, a third and nal conerence on the remaining
theme o sacrice will be held in conjunction with
the University o North Carolina at Wilmington.
