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.
