The last state to officially recognize the Emancipation Proclamation was Mississippi. Although the proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, it was not until February 1865 that Mississippi ratified the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. This delayed recognition reflected the state's resistance to the change in status for enslaved individuals.

No. The Emancipation Proclamation, written by Abraham Lincoln, declared all slaves in the CONFEDERATE states free. This did no good because the confederate states were not in Lincoln's control at the time. This document said nothing about the UNION slaves, though. A couple of the states fighting on Lincoln's side still had slaves, and the emancipation proclamation did not set them free.

yes, my civics teacher told me. he's known as the great emancipator. Lincoln, during the Civil war, was politically for slavery, but not morally. He only did this because he felt it would improve people's opinions about him, making it easier for him to maneuver throughout the battlefield without the public questioning him. Although he did state he had slaves, he treated them as family members and respected them. He eventually released the Emancipation Proclamation Act, which released all slaves in all states. Unfortunately, he did not control every state and slaves in the uncontrolled states were still held by the South.

But those slaves were freed through individual state and federal actions beyond those of the Civil War or the Emancipation Proclamation
