The issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Explanation: Antietam (Sept. 17, 1862) was the Union strategic opportunity Lincoln needed to announce the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation (Sept. 22, 1862). Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, Gettysburg’s outcome, and Sherman’s total-war tactics occurred later for unrelated reasons.
