Emancipation Proclamation

because lincoln made the emanicpation proclamation to free slaves but still even without slavery blacks were not equal to whites at the time

It allowed the border states to continue slavery for the duration of the war.

But in a roundabout way, it helped to liberate them, because it prevented Britain and France from aiding the South, and this greatly improved the chance of eventual Union victory.

It was completely political. He did not free any slaves with this declaration. Slaves in northern states remained slaves.

The issue was a growing population of property, black slaves that the north was collecting. Were they people or property? The United States still allowed slavery, so they technically could not be freed. They could not sell the slaves to other northern slave owners without other political fallout, so the logical choice was to free them so they could fight as soldiers.

Slavery ended the December AFTER the civil war ended. Lincoln did not live to see this end.

I would bet the courthouse is the best start. Talk to someone there and if that is not successful or you need something that will be easier, try a school counselor that you trust. If nothing else they may have the contacts you need.

Four things the north has that the south doesn't are: Ohio, New York, Montana, Illinois.

It meant they would not have to face the British and French armies on the side of the Confederates.

Whether they also felt a new sense of moral mission is dubious. The mid-term elections did not seem to reflect this.

There were many effects attributed by the emancipation proclamation. Slaves were turned out, by their masters like cattle or hogs. The happiness of newly emancipated slaves was short lived. They soon faced the reality that they were uneducated and had no idea how to independently support themselves and their familes. Many reluctantly had to submit to returning to cruel slaveholders for the provision of food and shelter. It wasn't long before the South created a new form of slavery "sharecropping". Freedmen were forced to accept minimal wages to support themselves and their families. A new terror for blacks in the South, was the KKK and the Night Riders. These new formed organizations used violence to deter newly freed blacks from voting, having a social standing in the community, education and religion. The freedmen who began to prosper independently with acquired land and property were run off their own homesteads and threatened with death for returning.

strengthen the moral cause of the Union

There were essentially two factors which motivated President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. In the first place, he did not believe that the practice of slavery was morally justifiable (Lincoln was, of course, correct in that belief). Secondly, a civil war was in progress and it was very useful from a military point of view to be able to recruit former slaves into the Union Army, and by promising to end slavery, Lincoln gave the former slaves an excellent reason to support the Union.

Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation which said that slaves in the Confederate States of America were free.

The Emancipation Proclamation allowed African Americans to fight in the war but got worse jobs than the white people and got paid less still and African Americans could get recaptured by their owners so they had to becareful

It technically freed the slaves in the states in rebellion, but not the ones in the Border states that had stayed loyal.

In practice, it did not free many slaves, but the Union troops were licensed to liberate any slaves they came across in their Southern campaigns. These presently joined the Union armies.

The Emancipation Proclamation was an act issued by Lincoln during the Civil War. "Emancipate" means to to make free. It granted freedom to all slaves in the Confederacy. However, since the Confederacy was its own country, this had no effect on them. At least, until the Union army came near a slave's town, a slave could run away to freedom with the soldiers. Also, this encouraged slaves to slow down or quit their work, hurting the already weak Confederate army.

To encourage African Americans to join the Union armies.

It turned the war into an official crusade against slavery, so that free nations abroad could not aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves. This succeeded in keeping Britain out of the war - an urgent priority for Lincoln.

By 'proclaiming' that Southern slaves were free, it also licensed the troops to liberate any slaves they came across on their Southern campaigns.

The Emancipation Proclamation had no immediate affect on the confederacy because it applied only in those territories then in rebellion against the United States government. The Us government had no means of enforcing it in those places.

In the long run it did affect the South because it cast the Civil War very clearly as a war against slavery, and thus reduced the ability of the South to get aid from England or France.

Answer

in the revolution

The Proclamation actually took place in Washington, D.C.

By the summer of 1862, Lincoln had prepared an EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION, but he did not want to issue it until Union armies had had greater success on the battlefield. The Union army's victory at the Battle of Antietam encouraged the president to issue a preliminary proclamation on September 22, 1862, that announced the abolition of slavery in areas occupied by the Confederacy effective January 1, 1863.

To some, the Civil War is considered the 2nd Revolution in the United States. The Proclamation was delivered by President Lincoln Jan 1, 1863. The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. It was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, passed by the House on January 31, 1865, and adopted on December 6, 1865. On December 18, Secretary of State William H. Seward, in a proclamation, declared it to have been adopted. It was the first of the Reconstruction Amendments. The last state to ratify the 14th amendment - that was a state in 1868 was Kentucky, March 18, 1976.

A Union Army victory, in the battle field.

After the war there was concern that the proclamation, as a war measure, had not made the elimination of slavery permanent. Several states had prohibited slavery, but some slavery continued to exist in Kentucky and Delaware, until the entire institution was finally wiped out by the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment on December 18, 1865.(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Emancipation Day in Missouri is traditionally celebrated in Missouri in August in such communities as Boonville, Neosho, Clinton, Joplin and others.

However, for whatever reason, the Missouri legislature enacted legislation in 2003 recognizing "Emancipation Day" as June 19. This appears to be a legislative attempt to conflate the traditional Missouri celebration of Emancipation Day to Texas' celebration of its Juneteenth celebration.

The "Juneteenth Celebration" originated in Texas in honor of their June 19, 1865, belated awareness of the end of the Civil War. General Granger brought this knowledge to them. The Civil War ended April 9, 1865, when Gen. Lee surrendered to General Grant.

Missouri Emancipation Day may be rooted in one of several occurrences:

1. Gen. Fremont's unilateral declaration of Emancipation of freedom to all slaves in Missouri in August 1861, issued when he was the Union military commander of the Department of the West. This was later rescinded by President Lincoln, a few weeks later, due to alleged political concerns;

2. The Emancipation Proclamation issued January 1, 1863;

3. The Missouri Emancipation Act freeing slaves January 1, 1865; or,

4. The end of the Civil War, April 9, 1865.

I lean toward Fremont's declaration, as it actually freed some slaves in 1861, and the August date is too coincidental.

Good question - what was it?

It looked like a human rights document, appealing for a crusade against the evils of slavery.

In fact, it was an urgent tactical measure brought on by the war situation, where Britain looked like sending military aid to the Confederates.

If Lincoln could turn the war into an official crusade against slavery, then Britain would have to stay out, having aboloshed its own slavery thirty years earlier.

The two emancipation proclamations issued by president Lincoln in actuality did not "free" any slaves. In practical terms, every time a Union army gained and held Confederate territory, slaves there were freed as a matter of course. The Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure meant to help disrupt Southern society. The slave holding Union border states, Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, kept their slaves until the end of the war.

No. It only freed slaves in the rebellious states. Slaves in states that remained in the Union were not freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, and slaves in states in the Confederacy were technically freed, but since the Union didn't control most of that territory, only a relatively few slaves were actually freed immediately. (Mostly, those that had been captured by Union troops and were being held as "enemy contraband".)
