The answer is.........

Basically,a piece of paper saying that everyone has equal right ,whites,blacks,Mexicans..ect..

The Emancipation Proclamation was only Propaganda to discourage European powers from assisting the Confederacy. It free no slaves. It improved nobody's rights. It explicitly did not free slaves in Union states (Lincoln did not want to risk them seceding too) and implicitly did not free slaves in Confederate states, as the Union had no power there.

Answer 2

The Emancipation Proclamation, written by Abraham Lincoln proclaimed all the slaves in the confederate states to be free. This document actually did nothing, because the confederate states were not under Lincoln's control at the time. A couple slave states had sided with the union in this war, but the emancipation proclamation said nothing about them. The emancipation proclamation was more symbolic than it was useful.....

Answer 3

The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War. It declared all slaves in Confederate territories to be forever free, paving the way for the abolition of slavery in the United States. However, it did not free slaves in border states loyal to the Union or in Confederate areas already under Union control.

Answer 4

The Emancipation Proclamation was an order issued by Lincoln in 1863, freeing all slaves behind confederate lines. The proclamation changed the war's purpose.

Answer 5

It had not actually gave slaves their freedom on January 1,1863.The proclamation played the of role of giving the slaves their freedom. It was official on January 1, 1863. It freed the slaves in the Confederate states even though Lincoln didn't have any power in the Southern states; but not the border state since the president didn't have the power to do that, it could only be done by a constitutional amendment of state legislatures.

Answer 6
