What was Jefferson Davis's response to Lincoln's emancipation Proclamation?

Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States, vehemently opposed Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, viewing it as a direct attack on the Southern way of life and its economy, which relied heavily on slavery. He argued that the proclamation was an act of war and a desperate measure to bolster Union morale. Davis maintained that the Confederacy would continue to fight for its independence and the preservation of its social structure. He also dismissed the proclamation's effectiveness, asserting it would not free a single slave in the South.


How did the emancipation proclamation change everything?

The emancipation proclamation declared that all enslaved people will be freed and this ruined the chance of the South getting support from Europe. The emancipation proclamation also protected the rights of the slaves in the South and brought them to safety in the North. This changed the course of business in the South and North because every freed slave needed a job. Those jobs would have to come from the white men in the North. As well as this, the South's economy was based on slaves so needed to change to paid labor. Those who were previously slaves would have to be paid in order to work.


Did the emancipation really free the slaves?

The answer is both yes and no. The Emancipation Proclamation was a strategic move by Lincoln to break the slave-driven economy by the south, enacted after the devastating draw at the Battle of "Bloody" Antietam (near Sharpsburg, Maryland, September 17, 1862) The Emancipation Proclamation, dated September 22, 1862 (to take effect on January 1, 1863) would release the slaves in ONLY the thirteen Confederate states in open rebellion; slavery would still be legal in the Union "border" states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware until the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865.

It galvanized abolitionist sentiment in the North, allowed for the enlistment of Black soldiers in the Union Army, and weakened the Confederate economy reliant on slave labor.
