Emancipation Proclamation

states in rebellion against the United States. all rebelling states

Missouri did secede, in fact callaway county in Missouri is still "technically" seceded from the Union

Many British critics did not approve of the Emancipation Proclamation. They did not feel it was a good idea.

The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in the states that had seceded from the Union as a movement of the war. The freed slaves became eligible to serve in the Union Army.

Abraham Lincoln.

The plantation owners also thought it was too drastic. They needed the slaves to work the fields and they had a lot of money invested.

Antietam.

It was not so much poliical support, but military credibility - showing that Lee could be stopped. (The British were treating this campaign as the test of Confederate viability, before granting recognition and sending aid.)

However, Great Britain never closed the door on a formal recognition of the Confederacy.

During the American Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation was in fact motivated by factors other than political pressure. Straightforward moral concern was at work in its formulation and announcement. Military factors were also involved, as President Lincoln required a landmark achievement on the battlefield that would prepare the ground for the public announcement. Various other factors went into both the preparation of the document itself and the timing of its public release.

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

Because they were losing all their battles in Virginia, and it would have looked like a desperate measure.

During the US Civil War (officially termed the "War of the Rebellion"), the Northern Army did raise some all black outfits, led by white officers. The US Army retained segregated outfits (all black units) until 1947.

Emancipation day is celebrated to commemorate the release of African Americans from slavery in the US.

The Final Draft was signed January 1, 1863
The first part was signed in September 22, 1862 which freed the slaves. The second was signed on January 1, 1863 which specified the 10 states where it would be applied.

Yes. He was hoping that one or two slave-states might quit the Confederacy and rejoin the Union.

But chiefly, he was trying to stop Britain and France from helping the Confederacy. After the Proclamation, free countries abroad could not help the South without looking pro-slavery themselves.

They debated.

President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the U.S., issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863.

The Civil War was a war of contradictions. The South seceded to perpetuate slavery and instead ended up destroying it. North vowed not to interfere with slavery and won sufficient support to kill it. Unlike many abolitionists, President Lincoln understood he couldn't eliminate slavery without first saving the union. And unlike many conservative Republicans and Democrats, he realized he couldn't save the union without eliminating slavery.

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?

The President who introduced the Emancipation Proclamation was Abraham Lincoln. It was an order that was made during the American Civil War in 1863 that allowed slaves to be free in the Confederate States.

President Lincoln SIGNED and ISSUED the Emancipation Proclomation. I don't believe that history is clear on whether or not he actually SPOKE it.

Nothing.

It just 'proclaimed' that all Southern slaves (but not Northern ones) were "thenceforward and forever free". Since Lincoln's word wasn't law in the South, this altered nothing on the ground.

The effect was felt by the British, who had come close to recognising the Confederacy and sending military aid. The Proclamation had turned the war into an official crusade against slavery, so making it impossible for free nations abroad to support the South.

President Lincoln waited until the Union won a battle, otherwise it would be considered an empty, meaningless statement. After the Union won the Battle of Antietam / Sharpsburg Maryland; President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Union victories prior to Antietam / Sharpsburg were few and far between.
