1863 vs. 1964

What's the Difference?

1863 and 1964 were both significant years in American history. In 1863, the Civil War was raging on, with major battles such as Gettysburg and Vicksburg taking place. This year also saw the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln, declaring all slaves in Confederate-held territory to be free. In contrast, 1964 was a time of social change and upheaval in the United States, with the Civil Rights Movement gaining momentum and the passage of the Civil Rights Act, which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Both years were pivotal in shaping the course of American history and advancing the cause of equality and justice.
