PRIMARY SOURCE SET
EMANCIPATION DURING AND AFTER
THE CIVIL WAR
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
By 1860, slavery had existed on American soil for
more than 240 years. Along with slavery, however,
there existed a parallel history of emancipation, or
freedom from slavery. In the years after the Revolutionary War, many of the northern states enacted
gradual emancipation, some southern slaveholders
manumitted their slaves, and anti-slavery reform
efforts gained strength. Even after the reaction to
Nat Turner’s 1830 rebellion closed many avenues
to emancipation, enslaved people continued to run
away, often making use of the Underground Railroad. Still, on the eve of the Civil War, emancipation remained a goal for about four million slaves
across the South, including approximately 276,000
in Tennessee.
From the beginning of the war, enslaved African
Americans began to break down the bonds of slavery. The arrival of the Union army in Confederate
territory provided the catalyst. Although the goal
of the United States was to preserve the Union, not
to end slavery, enslaved people escaped to Union
military lines as soon as they had the opportunity.
Former slaves’ assistance to the Union army impressed President Abraham Lincoln, who issued the
Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863,
declaring slaves in the Confederacy free. Although
the proclamation did not apply to Union-occupied
areas, including Tennessee, many bondspeople living in these areas claimed their freedom, and African American men began to join the Union army.
With the war’s end in April 1865, all slaves gained
their freedom. The Thirteenth Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution abolished slavery for good. The
challenging transition from slavery to freedom,
however, continued for decades. Nonetheless, African Americans celebrated emancipation annually.

SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHERS
This primary source set begins with sources that
illustrate the history of emancipation in the United
States before the Civil War. This will help students recognize that emancipation, though rare
throughout most of the history of slavery in the
United States, was not a foreign concept in 1861.
Most of these sources date to the antebellum period, and “Go down, Moses” (published in 1917) is a
spiritual that expresses the yearning for freedom
under slavery. *For each of the first four sources
in this section, ask students what more they would
like to know about this emancipation experience?”
The second section focuses on wartime emancipation. Several sources illustrate the significant role
of President Abraham Lincoln, the Union army,
and the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln was a
hero to many former slaves, and the Library has
numerous sources about him as the “Great Emancipator.” Sources related to Lincoln tend to portray
emancipation as a “top-down” event. Yet, many
African Americans helped to bring about their own
freedom and the freedom of their families. *Ask
students to point out some sources that demonstrate this “grassroots” nature of emancipation, and
also ask them why they think that more sources
exist that illustrate the “top-down” aspect rather
than the “grassroots” quality of emancipation.
The section on postwar emancipation looks at the
transition from slavery to freedom, particularly
during the immediate aftermath of the war. Family
reunification, postwar violence, the establishment
of schools and churches, and westward migration
are all depicted. *Ask students which sources they
find most surprising.
The final section focuses on the memory and celebration of emancipation. This section includes a
“family record” marketed to African Americans by
W.H. Cowell of Martin, Tennessee, and a portrait
of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, a novelist and
poet who wrote extensively about emancipation.
*Ask students to compare and contrast the 1866
and 1905 images of emancipation celebrations.
