The correct answer is A) The Battle of Antietam.

Lincoln considered the Union's ability to stop the Confederate troops from further invading the North as victory enough to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. This document was supposed to free slaves in the Confederacy. However, southern states ignored this law because they considered themselves part of the Confederate States of America, not the United States of America. Even though this document does not free any slaves it does allow former slaves to join the Union army to fight against the Confederacy.
