Emancipation Proclamation

A preliminary one was issued in September of 1862 that said the final one would go into effect on January 1, 1863 if the rebellion were still going on. Since it was, the official proclamation was issued on that day.

The Emancipation Proclamation was issued during the Civil War; Reconstruction was the period following the war.

The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in all of the rebel states, but it failed to set the slaves free in the 4 "border states." (Deleware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri)

It prevented England and France from intervening on the South's behalf.

The answer is both yes and no. The Emancipation Proclamation was a strategic move by Lincoln to break the slave-driven economy by the south, enacted after the devastating draw at the Battle of "Bloody" Antietam (near Sharpsburg, Maryland, September 17, 1862)

The Emancipation Proclamation, dated September 22, 1862 (to take effect on January 1, 1863) would release the slaves in ONLY the thirteen Confederate states in open rebellion; slavery would still be legal in the Union "border" states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware until the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865.

A full text of the Emancipation Proclamation can be found on the National Archives' website below.

Free nations abroad could no longer support the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.

They have allowed African Americans to join the military.

The Northern government - because they no longer had to worry about Britain and France aiding the South. (After the Proclamation, it would have made them look as though were pro-slavery.)

None directly - remembering that Lincoln allowed slavery to continue in the slave-states that had not joined the Confederacy.

This is your clue that the Proclamation was not actually about abolition. It was an urgent wartime tactic to keep the British from granting recognition to the South. By making the war look like an official crusade against slavery, Lincoln made it politically impossible for free nations abroad to help the South without looking as though they were fighting for slavery.

Indirectly, of course, it helped Lincoln to win the war, and therefore enabled the eventual abolition of all slavery in the re-united States.

Maryland, Delaware, Missouri, and Kentucky.

Lincoln was worried that forcing them to release their slaves at this point might cause them to leave the Union and join the Confederacy.

Frustrated.

By issuing the Proclamation, Lincoln had turned the war officially into a crusade against slavery (which it hadn't been at the start).

This meant that free nations abroad could not send military aid to the Confederates without looking pro-slavery.

Yes it did, England for a long time was an anti slave country. In signing the Emancipation Proclamation, it abolished slavery, making England not side with the Confederacy due to their anti- slave laws

The North benefited because Caifornia was admitted as a free state, reducing Southern voting power in Congress. This is why the North felt they should make a pro-Southern gesture by agreeing to a new, toughened-up version of the Fugitive Slave Act.

This backfired badly, arousing sympathy for persecuted runaways in the North, so the South ended up losing on the deal, and strongly resentful.

The major force of the Cold War was the conflict between the ideals of the western democracies and the ideals of the communist nations, most notably, the Soviet Union. The American commitment to democratic government, the belief in liberty for the individual, and a capitalist economy were incompatible with the ideals of the Bolsheviks and the creation of dictatorial, repressive, and ruthless state power, as exampled by Stalin in the USSR. While the United States did favor economic influence via trade relations with other nations, the Soviet bloc of nations favored actual take-over of other areas by military force or the theat of military force, to make other nations come under the influence and control of the Soviet/communist way of thinking.

Nobody was "at" Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation, was a set of 2 executive orders, written and issued by President Lincoln.

President Lincoln thought emancipation was justified as a military necessity to preserve the Union. "If the Proclamation of Emancipation was essentially a war measure, it had the desired effect of depriving the Confederacy of much of its valuable laboring force.

Through 1862, Lincoln continued to have misgivings about the result of abruptly ending slavery (not the least of which was the prospect of freed slaves needing gainful employment). He was finally convinced that freeing the slaves would disrupt the war activities of the South, while at the same time gaining support for the Union from Northern liberals and from neutral European countries. Before Lincoln's death in April, 1865, the 13th Amendment was well on the way to codifying his executive order.

It was given to the slaves by President Abraham Lincoln because he wanted to preserve the Union and make sure slavery didn't spread to the West. It freed the slaves in the Confederacy. It was given on 1863.

improve your question and grammer then maybe you will get an answer it doesnt make sence

Antietam.

It was the unexpected Northern victory that gave Lincoln the credibility to issue this Proclamation without making it sound like a desperate measure.

The battle was actually a tactical draw, not a real Northern victory, but Lincoln decided to go ahead anyway.

Nobody is freed by a Proclamation - only by a law.

The Proclamation declared that slaves in the Confederate states were 'thenceforward and forever free' - meaning that Union troops on enemy soil were allowed to liberate any slaves they found. And by implication, that if the Union eventually won the war, and if the same Republican government was still in power, there would be moves to make slavery illegal.

The same Proclamation did not affect the four slave-states that had remained loyal to the Union. Lincoln had no wish to upset the people of these 'buffer' states and drive tem into the arms of the Confederacy. This also reminds us that Lincoln was not an abolitionist. He had rejected the final compromise, not in pursuit of abolition, but only because it would have allowed some new slave-states.

A string of Confederate victories by Lee in the summer of '62, which brought the British and French close to granting recognition to the Confederacy.

Lincoln wanted to prevent this by turning the war into an official crusade against slavery (which it hadn't been), but he had to wait for a Northern victory to issue his Proclamation without making it look like a desperate measure.

Nothing the ones up north were free, the ones down south were technically unaffected, the law had no impact on the Confederates which was technically a different nation.

Antietam, the first major battle where Lee was defeated.

It allowed Lincoln to make the proclamation from a position of strength, and not as a desperate measure.

January 1, 1863 but the Emancipation Proclamation actually didn't free ANY slaves. If you read it carefully it clearly states;

"That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom."

The key here being the part about people being in rebblion against the United States. Lincoln was specifically refering to the Confederate States of America, where he has no authority. It specifically did not end slavery in any territory held under Union control, even in the south, New Orleans for example remained legally a legal slave holding area. No, slavery ended in the US officially on December 6, 1865 when the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified.
