What group of slaves did the Emancipation Proclamation free?

None. The emancipation proclamation said that it freed the slaves in the south but what if someone far away from you said they wanted you to mail your life savings to them or else they would pitch a fit would you do it?


What was the emanation proclamation?

The Emancipation Proclamation was issued 1 January 1863. It was a Presidential Proclamation freeing slaves in those southern states then at war with the Union. It was more of a political move at the time than anything else, as it served to give the south another headache to think about while prosecuting a war against the union.


Why did it take so long for slavery to end in America after the Emancipation Proclamation?

Should the Civil war be seen as a war to save the Union or as a war to free the slaves Why?

My version is Lincoln and everyone else in the North wanted to do away with slavery. The South's economy depended on slaves to work the cotton fields. When Lincoln came up with the Emancipation Proclamation, the document that freed the slaves, the south reacted with rage and rebelled. When they seceded from the Union, the Civil War started.


What did the emancipation proclamation provide in the war?

The Emancipation Proclamation freed all the slaves in Confederate-held states. However, it didn't free the slaves of the border states or anywhere else under federal control. Also, if any Confederate states quit fighting before January 1, they could keep their slaves.

Was the war over before the slaves where freed?

The Emancipation proclamation in 1863 freed the slaves in the states in rebellion but no where else in the Union, but the war will go on for 3 more years before peace is signed. It isn't until the 13th amendment in 1865 was made into law making slavery illegal .


Why was Abraham Lincoln called the Great Emancipator?

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.

What did slaves do after being released buy emancipation proclamation?

The Proclamation did not directly free the slaves, because it related to those states where Lincoln had no power or influence. (And it did not free Northern slaves). However, wherever the Union armies went in the South, they were ordered to free the slaves, who then became refugees, that the Union had to do something about. Initially they were accepted only for the most menial labour, and many of the troops were glad to be relieved of this heavy and monotonous work. It followed that some of them would presently be put into uniform, to make up numbers in depleted rifle companies, and then the next step would be all-black regiments. After the war, these ex-slaves would be classified as veterans, no different from anyone else who had fought for the USA.


Why was the emancipation proclamation a turning point in the civil war?

Emancipation Proclimation, passed by President Abraham Lincoln after the civil war, announced that all slaves in the won territories in the Confederate States were freed, and they called it "Juneteenth".
