What was one effect of the emancipation proclamation on African Americans in the northhh?

One significant effect of the Emancipation Proclamation on African Americans in the North was the bolstering of morale and a sense of hope for freedom and equality.

Who specifically would be 'thenceforward forever free?

Assuming this is about the Emancipation Proclamation: Technically, no one. When Lincoln gave the Emancipation Proclamation, it "freed" the slaves of the Confederacy, composed of rebellious states that had seceded from the Union. However, because they were no longer part of the Union and under Lincoln's leadership, the Proclamation technically had no effect on them at all. He also excluded the border slave states that were still part of the Union from the Proclamation because, if they were to secede in retaliation, the Union would be destroyed. Lincoln knew all of this, and so he made the Emancipation Proclamation as more of a symbolic move than an actual law.
