Why did the Emancipation Proclamation not free slaves in Missouri?

Answer 1

Because technically, they the people o color in the North were not thought as slaves so they where technically all ready freed in a way. But once the proclamation was in check they were given full rights of a citizen but still were not treated equally by believers of the saying "separate but equal" but the quality was not equal

Answer 2

The Emancipation Proclimation ened slavery in all states or parts of states curently in rebellion as of January 1, 1863. Mayrland may have been a slave state but it remained in the Union, as did D.C., Deleware, Kentucky, and Missouri. Parts of Tennessee and Louisiana which had been reconquered were considered under Federal control as well.

Answer 3

The Emancipation Proclamation was basically a war measure for US President Lincoln to cause problems in the Confederacy. It also allowed for slaves in Southern territory to seek asylum when Union troops took over an area. Missouri was part of the Union, a key border state and to ensure the people in power there, no slaves in states loyal to the Union were covered by the Proclamation.
