They didn't like it
What do you think the reaction was to the emancipation proclamation by the slaves in the south?

Why did Lincoln think an emancipation proclamation would help the North?
I would believe the emancipation proclamation is important for the north because of its factories. The loss of enslaved workers would hurt the south and would turn the british away from the south.
How do you think southern plantation owners reacted to the emancipation proclamation?
They were mad!!!
What constitutional issue involved Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation?
I think he issued the Emancipation Proclamation because he wanted to free all African Americans in the South.
Why did Lincoln think that an Emancipation Proclamation would help the North?
im dumb
Would African Americans be joyful about the emancipation proclamation?
You would think so.
How did Lincoln think the Emancipation Proclamation would hurt the South?
By making it impossible for free nations abroad to help the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.
What do you think would have happened if Abraham Lincoln had waited until after the civil war to issue the emancipation proclamation?
The main purpose of issuing the Emancipation Proclamation was international propaganda, as it had no actual effect in either the north or the south as written. It freed no slaves in northern slave states still loyal to the Union and although it declared the slaves to be free in those states then in rebellion against the Union there was no means available to enforce it. Thus all slaves prior to the Emancipation Proclamation still remained in slavery after it. Only after the Civil War was over did Union soldiers have the ability to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in the south. The slaves in the northern states that did not rebel still remained slaves until the Thirteenth Amendment completely abolished slavery (as the Emancipation Proclamation explicitly left them slaves to prevent having those states rebel too during the Civil War).
You are a slave in South Carolina during the civil war Someone has just read to you then emancipation Proclamation What are you thinking?
"Lincoln has no authority over South Carolina. Also I think the Confederates are going to win, so I'll stay here."
What was the emanation proclamation?
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued 1 January 1863. It was a Presidential Proclamation freeing slaves in those southern states then at war with the Union. It was more of a political move at the time than anything else, as it served to give the south another headache to think about while prosecuting a war against the union.
How do you think slaves who were not freed by the emancipation proclamation felt about Lincoln?
They might not have known much about it. If they did, they would probably have realised that the Proclamation didn't free many slaves anywhere. It was mainly a tactic to stop Britain and France from aiding the South. (It would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.)
