What effect did Lincoln think the proclamation would have on the slaves?

He hoped it would encourage one or two slave-states to quit the Confederacy and re-join the Union - as free soil, naturally.
But his main reason for issuing the Proclamation was tactical. It would make it impossible for free nations abroad to aid the South without looking pro-slavery.

Do you think the emancipation proclamation did any good?
Yes, the Emancipation Proclamation did a lot of good. For one, it freed the slaves in the border states. It also freed the slaves in the rebelling states and throughout the Federal Union. The Proclamation would also ban indentured servitude, and prevent any American from selling themselves for profit.
Did the Emancipation Proclamation end the Civil War?
No. Most people think the slave trade is long gone; an anachronism. Sadly, that's not the case. There are currently about 600,000-800,000 slaves internationally, of which about 17,500 are in the United States. Some make garments. Some (more than 40%) are forced sex trade workers. If you think you're not part of the problem, check out where your clothes were made. Someone I worked with had parents who were slaves in a Chinese factory - they lived there, shopped there, and worked there. Their shifts started and ended when their foreman said it was time. The sugar, chocolate, and diamond trades are notorious for using child slave labour.

What do you think was the most important effect of the emancipation proclamation?
The most important effect of the emancipation proclamation was keeping the British and the French from aiding the Confederates, which was a major headache for Lincoln in Summer 1862.
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.
What was the emancipation procimation?
It was a proclamation issued by Lincoln which freed all the slaves in states which were in rebellion (that is, the Confederate states during the Civil War). Lincoln threatened to free the slaves as a way to leverage the Confederacy into rejoining the Union. The Confederates refused. Lincoln followed through on his threat. Despite what many think, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves, only those in states which had seceded. Slaves in other states had to wait until the adoption of the 13th Amendment before they received their freedom.
How do you think slaves who were 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.)

How did Abraham Lincoln free slaves from slavery?
He freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation that said slaves could no longer be kept in the rebel states, also known as the South. Lincoln freed the slaves to try to keep the North fighting and to force the South back into the United States, Lincoln wanted to send all the slaves to central america because he did not believe whites and blacks should live together, Lincoln also was a slave owner.

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).
In which year did president Lincoln sign the emacipation proclamation?
I THINK THE ANSWER IS IN 1863
Why did Lincoln think that an Emancipation Proclamation would help the North?
im dumb
Who granted liberty to all men and women essentially granted freedom to black slaves?
Your question doesn't make sense. If you are talking about freeing the slaves in the United States, that was done by Congress and the States with the 13th Amendment. Many people think Abraham Lincoln did that with his "Emancipation Proclamation," but that actually freed no one.
Why does Abraham Lincoln care about ending slavery?
Before the war Lincoln just wanted to stop the spread of slaves, believing states that already had slave should be able to keep their slaves.(that's totaly not cool for some one that wanted to put an end to slavery) During the war, Lincoln at first didn't want his generals to free slaves in the south and only later did so to weaken the Confederacy. Don't be confused and think the Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves, it only freed slaves in the Confederacy to weaken their defenses. Lincoln said it himself the would continue with slavery, free all the slaves or just free some as long as it preserved the Union.- Demetrice Hanson
