What was the Union army’s response to the Emancipation Proclamation?
Erica Hanna
Not with great enthusiasm
It meant that they were licensed to liberate any slaves they came across in their Southern campaigns. This would help to deprive the South of its workforce, and would obviously damage the Confederate war-effort.
However, it also meant that a lot of ex-slaves would be tagging along with the Union armies, who would have to employ them, and admit some of them into the ranks. Many white soldiers did not want to share acommodation with blacks, although many others presently saw how it could help their own promotion prospects.
The Proclamation was not popular with most Northerners, as revealed in the mid-term elections.
