No, not all slaves were seen as free people, but many of the slaves thought of the Union as 'allys' or 'friends', and the Union would do their best to help the slaves in their deeds; this also cause some of the conflict with the Confederacy, partially leading to Lincoln's death.
The Union is a group of states that disagree with slaves and the Confederate is a group of states that believe in slaves.
It only released slaves of the Confederate States but not the slaves of the Union States. Only the Union slaves could be freed after the war had ended.
only slaves in areas at war with the union
None, the proclamation only affected slaves in the Confederate states.
No, the confederate had no slaves, but the union did have African American solders.
Lincoln freed the slaves in the Confederate States, because they were in rebellion against the Union. Causing most of the Civil war, Lincoln decided to make the Emancipation to abolish the rebillion and keep the Union stable.
Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in all the rebellious states of the Union. Lincoln had no power to enforce his statement, so no slaves were actually freed. Also, slaves in the border states that remained loyal to the Union were not freed.
the union armies
The southern states were Confederate states. The northern states were part of the Union. :)
The Emancipation Proclamation freed all the slaves in Confederate states. It was signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. As Lincoln had no authority in the rebelling Southern states, the document allowed military commanders to free slaves in lands they captured. Sometimes these slaves joined the Union army.
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Lincoln on January 1st 1863 (Union), it freed all slaves in the CONFEDERATE states not the Union slave states.
yes because the Union had the advantage of black men. When Harriet Tubman formed the underground railroad, slaves flourished into the Union states. Some slaves wanted freedom but most slaves wanted retribution and revolution. And smugglers helped many slave emancipate from the confederate clutches. some smugglers and slaves became slaves, like Harriet Tubman. And the Union had more, better spies than the the Confederacy, like Elizabeth Van Lew. That's why the union spys better than the confederate spies.
