slaves in the south.
confederate states
I THINK THE ANSWER IS IN 1863
The Emacipation Proclamation was written by Abraham Lincoln. It stated that there was to be no more slavery in the Union states.
...keeping the British out of the war. After the issue of the Proclamation, they could not aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery.
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in Washington, DC, by President Lincoln, and freed those slaves held in territory then in rebellion against the government of the United States of America. As a result, it did not free anyone until Confederate lands were conquered after the Proclamation was signed. Those slaves held in lands already under the control of Union forces were not affected by the Proclamation.
Because the Union had at last scored a victory (Antietam), so he could issue the Proclamation without making it look like a desperate measure.
They were 'proclaimed' to be free in all the Confederate states - just where Lincoln had no power or influence at that time. The Northern slave-states, which had stayed out of the Confederacy, were allowed to continue practising slavery till after the war.
The first African American to visit the White House was Fredrick Douglas After Pres. Lincoln signed the Emacipation Proclamation.
The Emancipation proclamation did not free the slaves in which state?
It turned the war into an offical crusade against slavery - so Britain and France had to drop their plans to aid the South, because it would have made them look pro-slavery.
