rewatch

Explanation:

On September 22, 1862, following the Union's tactical victory at Antietam, Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. This document gave Confederate states until January 1, 1863, to return to the Union, or their enslaved people would be declared free. The other options are incorrect: Lincoln did not warn Britain to stay out of the war on this date, did not demand Southern surrender, and did not fire General McClellan (that occurred in November 1862).

Answer:

Issues the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation
