The Confederacy (areas at conflict with the Union).
In all Confederate territories the Union had already conquered or was going to conquer.
only slaves in areas at war with the union
The Emancipation Proclamation freed those enslaved people who had not already freed themselves in Rebel-held states, but not border states where slavery was also legal.
During the Emancipation Proclamation, the rebelling states were primarily those that seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America. These included South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. The proclamation declared the freedom of enslaved people in these states, although it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, as it applied only to areas in rebellion against the federal government.
The slaves in Beaufort and Port Royal were not immediately affected by the Emancipation Proclamation because it only applied to states in rebellion against the Union, and the Sea Islands of South Carolina were under Union control at that time. Consequently, the Proclamation did not free enslaved individuals in areas already occupied by Union forces. However, the Union's presence led to the eventual liberation of those enslaved people, as they were able to escape to the Union lines, which effectively rendered the Proclamation applicable in practice.
The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln, went into effect on January 1, 1863. It declared that all enslaved people in the Confederate states were to be set free, although it did not apply to enslaved individuals in border states or areas under Union control. This pivotal executive order aimed to weaken the Confederacy and bolster the Union's moral cause during the Civil War.

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.
The Emancipation Proclamation primarily affected enslaved people in the Confederate states, declaring them free as of January 1, 1863. However, it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, as it applied only to areas in rebellion against the Union. The proclamation also set a moral foundation for the Union's war efforts and encouraged freed individuals to join the Union Army, thereby influencing the overall course of the Civil War. Ultimately, it marked a significant step toward the abolition of slavery in the United States.
No, Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, issued in 1863 during the Civil War, declared that all slaves in Confederate states were to be set free. However, this proclamation did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, as it only applied to areas under Confederate control. Slavery was officially abolished in the United States with the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865.
The document that President Abraham Lincoln used to free the slaves was called the Emancipation Proclamation. It freed slaves in the rebelling Southern states only, not border states. They were freed later. As Lincoln had no authority to free slaves, this was a war measure. The results were that slaves in areas captured by Union forces were freed.
Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 to prevent foreign recognition of the Confederate States of America. As Lincoln had no power to free slaves in the Confederate States, the document did not free any slaves and exempted slaves in loyal Union states and in those areas of the South occupied by Federal troops.
During the Civil war and after the battle and union win at Antietam, Lincoln ordered the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation stated "all slaves in the areas of rebellion sha'll be freed".
