Emancipation Proclamation

He didn't especially.

He wanted to issue it in July 1862, when Lee was on a winning streak, and the British were close to granting recognition to the Confederacy. This would be his means of heading them off, because they could not aid the South after that, without looking pro-slavery themselves.

But his cabinet told him that it would look like a desperate measure, and he would have to wait for a Union victory. This came (unexpectedly) in September, and then Lincoln promptly issued his Proclamation.

abraham lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation jan. 1st 1863

the emancipation proclamtion freed the slaves from slavery

I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH BECAUSE I JUST HELPED U ALOT.

People were debating whether or not it was a good idea because slaves could have taken jobs white people thought they needed, but theres more to it than that

The South declared it was illegal and immoral.

In the North, the abolitonists complained that it didn't go far enough. (The Border states were alowed to continue practising slavery.)

But most Northerners were not abolitionists, and were not particularly impressed with it, as the mid-term elections showed.

The main impact was actually the one at the front of Lincoln's mind - to make it impossible for Britain and France to aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.

International support for the North in the American Civil War increased.

Consumerism and the fall of the American Empire in the 21st century

The main theme surrounding the Emancipation Proclamation is slavery in the 19th century. The document legally set all slaves free in the Union but had no real effect on the South until the end of the US Civil War.

Here's all Tennessee law has to say about it: Tennessee Jurisprudence under Parent and Child § 18

§ 18. Generally.--Emancipation may result from an agreement, or it may occur by operation of law, and generally the emancipation of a child leaves the child, as far as the parent is concerned, free to act on the child's own responsibility and in accordance with his own will and pleasure, with the same independence as though he had attained majority. Emancipation of a child may be express, as by voluntary agreement of the parent and child, or implied from such acts and conduct as import consent, and it may be conditional or absolute, complete or partial

those who agreed with Lincoln that Slavery should not extend into the new territories.

The south wasn't part of the US at that time, so to all the areas where it pertained, there were no slaves.

The draft went down badly with the rank-and-file, and the families of the draftees, because it was allowable for a young man of military age to pay a substitute to do his service for him - if he could afford it. This seemed unfair, and the substitutes ere mostly useless.

The draft also went down badly with many of the newly-arrived Irish immigrants, who were seeking a better life, and objected to being conscripted into a war about which they knew and cared little.

The Emancipation Proclamation failed to make the North feel patriotic, and the Abolitionists objected to it because it allowed slavery to continue in the slave-states that had remained loyal.

Abraham Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation to free southern slaves =} <3......

it abolished slavery

It didn't abolish slavery itself. There is still slavery today, believe it or not! The Proclamation itself didn't do altogether that much. It just showed that all the black slaves SHOULD be set free. In fact immediately after the proclamation was published it didn't do altogether that much immediately but the slaves started of thinking of President Lincoln as if he was a savior! And that's the truth!

Because it carried a moral dimension that would keep Britain, France or any other free nation from sending aid to the Confederates.

The northerners were inspired to fight under

No, the Emancipation Proclamation was written by Abraham Lincoln after conferring with Frederick Douglass.

they were freed

No, it did not abolish slavery, because it related only to slaves in the South, where Lincoln had no authority, and did not ban slavery in the North, where he did have authority.

It was a 'declaration', aimed at officially turning the war into a crusade against slavery, in order to restore Northern morale, and more urgently to keep the British from sending aid to the South.

It also licensed Union troops to rob the enemy of his slaves wherever the armies went in the South, and if the North were to win, it was obvious that those slaves could never be returned to their one-time owners.

It made it hard for foreign nations to recognize and support the confederacy

Lincoln had to wait for a Union victory. Antietam Was the victory he needed.
The Emancipation Proclamation changed the course of the war. It went from defeating the Rebels of the South to freeing the slaves. In every place that the Union army could take, the Slaves were all freed. This was a huge boost to the troops. They were now fighting to free people. Freeing all the slaves would have done nothing to keep the men fighting. the fight needed a better cause. Is there a better cause than Freedom? Fighting to unite the Country and fighting for freedom are far different things. Even today fighting for freedom is still top on everyones list.

The Emancipation proclamation had multiple points. Its main point was if, by January 1, 1863, the seceded Southern states did not come back to the Union, all the Slaves would be ordered free. Another considerable point was that the military and the navy would recognize the freedom of the slaves and regard them as humans. On the topic of the military, another point made by Lincoln was that freed Slaves were considered to be able to be drafted in the military at any time. The last point was that any freed Slave should abstain from violence now that they were free. Since they were now under protection under the law they must follow it. l From January 1, 1863 on all Africans were considered as human beings and equal to any White man.

The slave owners had to do all of the work themselves instead of having slaves do it for them.

The Emancipation Proclamation was written and issued by President Lincoln. The Proclamation consisted of 2 executive orders. The initial order was issued and went into effect on September 22, 1862, 5 days after the Union had claimed victory in the Battle of Antietam, Maryland.

The final or second part of the Proclamation, was issued and went into effect on January 1, 1863.

Well Lincoln said all slaves in the SOUTH were free and northern border states still had slaves. and its not like it worked. Its like Mexico saying every Latino prisoner is free to go in the US the us wont listen Lincoln only used it for rebellion causes.

Good question.

He claims that he must turn the war into a crusade against slavery. The Proclamation is meant to sound like a human rights document that will rally the war-weary North with an emotive new mission.

But he allows his own side to continue practising slavery (in the four border-states), which rather punctures the moral claims.

And in fact, the true reason for issuing the Proclamation is the urgent need to keep Britain and France from granting recognition to the Confederacy and sending military aid. After this, free countries abroad cannot aid the South without looking pro-slavery themselves.
