About this audiobook
While the conflict over slavery was a factor in the Civil War, the abolition of slavery did not become a stated objective until President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which went into effect on January 1, 1863. The Gettysburg Address was delivered by Lincoln on November 19, 1863, in the aftermath of a Union victory at the Battle of Gettysburg.
