Why did the emancipation proclamation free any enslaved people?

Answer 1

"Why did the Emancipation Proclamation not actually free any enslaved people?"

a) European countries that suported the union

b) border states that were loyal to the union

c)territory already under control of the Union by January 1,1863

d)states still in rebellion agains the union after January 1,1863

Answer 2

Because Lincoln had no authority in the states that had broken away, and meanwhile he allowed slavery to continue in the Upper-South states that had remained loyal.

The Proclamation was a tactic to keep Britain and France from helping the Confederates, by turning the war into an official crusade against slavery, and introducing an ethical dimension to foreign involvement.

Answer 3

Few slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, because it applied only to areas still in rebellion -- where Federal proclamations meant nothing. However, it did encourage more slaves to escape to the safety of Union lines and over the next two years of war, tens of thousands did so. Also as Union troops moved into new areas, the Black slaves were made free. So, the proclamation did not free many slaves immediately, but it was a step toward freedom for many thousands.

Answer 4

Because it freed slaves in the southern states but during the civil war the confederacy actually disowned America and became its own. So the orders from Another Country meant nothing
