Emancipation Proclamation

He said that all slaves in the south should be freed.

However, because of that time period southern slave owners were listening to the confederate president, Jefferson Davis. Because, they were part of the confederate south,l they though they shouldn't listen to the north. Hence, not many southerners let their slaves go.

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

because they wanted new land

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. It simultaneously succeeded in rallying thousands of English and European laborers to the cause of the Union or North, who were anxious to see workers gain their freedom throughout the world.

The Emancipation Proclmation freed slaves in territors not already under Union control. The Gettysburg Address was to sustain public support for the war effort.

Many of the poor Irish emigrants protested the proclamation, leading to riots when the Union instituted the draft. It gave the Union the moral high ground so that: diplomatically, it prevented England, France, and Spain from recognizing The Confederacy as a sovereign nation, preventing them from lending direct military or financial support.

No.

Most people think the slave trade is long gone; an anachronism. Sadly, that's not the case. There are currently about 600,000-800,000 slaves internationally, of which about 17,500 are in the United States.

Some make garments. Some (more than 40%) are forced sex trade workers.

If you think you're not part of the problem, check out where your clothes were made. Someone I worked with had parents who were slaves in a Chinese factory - they lived there, shopped there, and worked there. Their shifts started and ended when their foreman said it was time.

The sugar, chocolate, and diamond trades are notorious for using child slave labour.

The Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln only applied to slaves in those areas in secession and controlled by the Confederacy. In those areas, the authority of the US President was not recognized. It did not effect slaves in the Union's border states.

The Emancipation Proclamation only gave freedom to the slaves in the 10 states which were in rebellion against the Union. Slavery remained legal in Union and border states until the ratification of the 13th Amendment.

the north had to except states back in the union if they choose to go back so that slaves would still be slaves if i didnt answer your question too ad or you should be smarter and its not my fault

Lincoln had it ready by July 1862, even as he made his speech about not wanting to attack slavery.

But he could not issue it while the Confederates were winning so many battles - it would have looked like a desperate gesture.

He had to wait for a Union win, which came earlier than expected, in September. He issued the Proclamation immediately afterwards - to be effective from January 1st 1863.

It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control. Most important, the freedom it promised depended upon Union military victory.

The anti-slavery Northerners were overjoyed by it, and it gave them a good, moral purpose to fight. The Northern Democrats, though, claimed that it would only prolong the war by antagonising the the South. Many of the Union soldiers only accepted it because they thought it was the only way to re-unite the nation. The Confederates were, of course, outraged by it.

the emancipation proclamation took effect in 1865 when the south surrendered but in 1863, blacks were allowed to fight in the war for very little pay

The slave owners thought that the document's existence was insignificant as far as actually freeing the slaves, but they knew that the slaves have heard of it through grapevine, and feared the the slaves would revolt.

In easy terms, the slave owners could care less about the document, and continued on with their lives.

It helped the slaves be free. Most of them had freedom. Not in all states, though, but for those that were, they left and went to do the things that were aproved to do. Most Black slaves weren't able to attend to the Army forces, only whites, however, most went into it because they could.

it was issued on September 22 of 1862, but wasn't affected until January 1 of 1863

The Emancipation Proclamation was NOT issued as a military order. If it were, it would hold no power in any event, as Lincoln had no authority over the Confederacy when it was issued, as the Confederacy had its' own President. It was a Presidential Proclamation and when issued on 1 January 1863, was more of a "political move" than anything else.

Generally speaking, Northerners and Northern politicians believed that slavery should not be allowed to expand to new territories or new states. Part of their argument was negated in 1857 by a ruling by the US Supreme Court which said slavery was constitutional.

freeing the slaves

The civil war wasn't even about slavery, at first. The main issue about the civil war was state's rights. The main reason President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation was because he feared that the British were going to side with the Confederacy.

Lincoln famously replied on 22nd August, "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it."

By making the war a fight against slavery, Britain and France were politically unable to strongly support the south. Slavery was very unpopular in Britain and had been banned 30 years earlier. The French national slogan "Liberty - Fraternity - Equality" would be violated by slavery. Neither government (France or Britain) wanted to risk the wrath of its own population.

The emancipation proclamation gave an added incentive for slaves to escape from their masters and join the army of the north, which many did. It was therefore a useful recruitment strategy for the Union.
