What people said
Gary GallagherAmerican historian of the Civil War, professor emeritus at the University of Virginia
Gallagher argues the Seven Days Battles, not Antietam, were what persuaded Lincoln to pursue emancipation; Antietam merely provided the occasion.
“The key battle here isn't Antietam. The key battle is the seven days and McClellan's defeat that persuades Lincoln to do this”
