- Victory is ours in Gettysburg!
- Withdraw to Virginia!
- I issue the Emancipation Proclamation
- As the war continued, Lincoln decided to make abolition a goal of the Union. Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation. In the Confederate States it had little immediate effect on slavery and the Confederate States ignored it. In the North, it changed the war into a crusade for freedom. Lee hoped to capture a Northern city to help convince the weary North to seek peace, but when the Confederates attempted to find weak spots in the Union position, the Union lines held firm. Picket let the Confederate soldiers in a charge across low ground separating the two forces but as they pushed forward union gunners opened great holes in the advancing lines. After the battle Gettysburg was a victory for the Union and Lee had lost about a third of his army and decided to withdraw to Virginia.
