The Emancipation Proclamation applied only to the States that were at war with the union; it did not apply to the four "slave States" that did not secede. In other words, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free any slaves at the time it was published.
The emancipation proclamation freed slaves in all states except for the borderline slave states that remained in the union. The proclamation had led the way to abolish slavery in the United States.
The slave states that remained loyal to the Union were Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware.
Yes, hence why he issued the emancipation proclamation
In the slave-states that had remained loyal - Missouri, Maryland, Kentucky, Delaware.
The emancipation proclamation gave all slaves still living in slave states their freedom. It was issued in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln.
All of the Union states that allowed slavery before the war were not affected by Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
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.
The Emancipation Proclamation was Lincoln's wartime act that freed slaves.
The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 was not a slave code. It declared all enslaved individuals in Confederate states to be free.
There were four slave states that did not secede from the union, Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. Slaves in these states were not freed till after the civil war; not even by the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Emancipation Proclamation was very carefully worded to not free anyone anywhere at the time of its writing!The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves inside states in rebellion (i.e. Confederacy) and not controlled by Union troops. These states obviously ignored the Emancipation Proclamation and did not free any slaves. At the time the Emancipation Proclamation was written Union troops did not control any of those states.The Emancipation Proclamation explicitly permitted states that had stayed in the Union to keep their slaves. This was because if the Emancipation Proclamation freed such slaves then these states would probably leave the Union and join the Confederacy. Lincoln could not afford to have that happen!In fact the Emancipation Proclamation was a Propaganda document to encourage European support for the Union, and it was not expected to have any effect on either slave masters or enslaved people.Actually freeing the enslaved people would have to wait until after the war.
