Where was the emancipation proclamation addresed?
Good question. Officially, it was addressed to the state governors of the Confederacy - in other words, the very people who did not report to Congress at all. In reality, it was addressed to Britain and France, declaring that the war was now a crusade against slavery, and that free nations abroad could not aid the South without looking pro-slavery themselves. It was totally successful in keeping Britain and France out of the war.

The crisis over slavery in 1820 centered on the Missouri Compromise, which addressed the conflict between slave and free states as Missouri sought admission to the Union as a slave state. The issue arose because it threatened to disrupt the balance of power between slave and free states in Congress. To resolve this, the Compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while also establishing a boundary line at 36°30' latitude, north of which slavery would be prohibited in the remaining territories of the Louisiana Purchase. This compromise temporarily eased tensions but highlighted the growing sectional divide over slavery.
