VII. Emancipation Proclamation September, 1862- speech made by President Lincoln Slaves in all Confederate slave-holding states are to be free Stable blacks would be welcomed into the armed forces of the U.S. (Example: 54th Massachusetts Regiment from the movie ‘Glory’)

VIII. Georgia supplies the Confederacy: Georgia became the Confederacy’s most important source of supplies. Farmers are told to switch from growing cotton to food products
