How long did slavery in America last?
Over 200 years. It didn't end til the Emancipation proclamation in the 1800's.
How did people feel about the Emancipation Proclamation?
During the Civil War, when President Lincoln made his Emancipation Proclamation, reactions varied greatly. Critics and enemies in the South scorned the move and even ridiculed it, although most of the slaves (quietly) celebrated it. Some Northerners disagreed with it out of fear that it would lengthen the war unnecessarily. Most Northerners, however, rejoiced with the hope that, at last, freedom was going to become reality for all Americans.BTW, the Emancipation Proclamation explicitly freed no slaves at all in the few slave states still loyal to the Union (to prevent having them rebel too). It only proclaimed the slaves free in those states then in rebellion against the Union (where the Union had absolutely no power to enforce it). So the Emancipation Proclamation actually freed no slaves at all anywhere. The primary purpose of the Emancipation Proclamation was not to free slaves at all or even for US consumption, but as an instrument of international propaganda (particularly on the British who had banned slavery throughout the British Empire several years before, to cease support for the Confederacy and support only the Union) and it worked in that purpose.
How did the Emancipation Proclamation and the efforts of African American soldiers affect the course of the war Emancipation at Last?
The Proclamation was an urgent wartime measure, aimed at keeping Britain and France out of the war. The mid-term elections did not show much support for it at home - reminding us of the basic fact that most Northerners were not Abolitionists. The presence of more and more black soldiers in Northern uniform slowly started to influence American opinion about blacks as potentially equal citizens.
Where did the emancipation proclamation happen?
Answer in the revolution The Proclamation actually took place in Washington, D.C. By the summer of 1862, Lincoln had prepared an EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION, but he did not want to issue it until Union armies had had greater success on the battlefield. The Union army's victory at the Battle of Antietam encouraged the president to issue a preliminary proclamation on September 22, 1862, that announced the abolition of slavery in areas occupied by the Confederacy effective January 1, 1863. To some, the Civil War is considered the 2nd Revolution in the United States. The Proclamation was delivered by President Lincoln Jan 1, 1863. The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. It was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, passed by the House on January 31, 1865, and adopted on December 6, 1865. On December 18, Secretary of State William H. Seward, in a proclamation, declared it to have been adopted. It was the first of the Reconstruction Amendments. The last state to ratify the 14th amendment - that was a state in 1868 was Kentucky, March 18, 1976.

Why was a national law against slavery needed even though the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued?
The Emancipation Proclamation only applied in places that were-AT THAT TIME- in rebellion against the Union. Some Northern states permitted slavery. The last slaves to be freed by law were in Kentucky and Delaware on December 6, 1865- 7 months after the Civil War ended. That was the date that the state of Georgia ratified the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution.
Was the Battle of Antietam the last battle before the emancipation proclamation?
Yes. This was the long-awaited Union victory that gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Proclamation, which he did very promptly indeed - just a few days.

Last person that answered this question: Dont answer questions that you ont know the answer to okay!The answer is.........Basically,a piece of paper saying that everyone has equal right ,whites,blacks,Mexicans..ect..The Emancipation Proclamation was only Propaganda to discourage European powers from assisting the Confederacy. It free no slaves. It improved nobody's rights. It explicitly did not free slaves in Union states (Lincoln did not want to risk them seceding too) and implicitly did not free slaves in Confederate states, as the Union had no power there.
