Emancipation Proclamation

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.

The Battle of Antietam near Sharpsburg, Maryland ended Lee's first attempt to enter the North. It was fought on 17 September 1862 and the Emancipation Proclomation was issued on 22 September 1862 with an effective day of 1 January 1863.

The states in rebellion - in other words, the Confederate states.

Because he was the President of the United States. In the 1800's, it was much easier for a President to pass a proclamation because there were no lobbyists, there were fewer states, so there were not as many Congressmen or Senators to object to any proposed laws or proclamations.

Also the Emancipation was issued during the civil war, the war granted Lincoln emergency powers and through these powers he was able to issue the proclamation. The proclamation would have no authority after the war, only a constitutional change would maintain the proclamation, subsequently it was written into the constitution.

It proclaimed in a grandiose fashion that Southern slaves would be 'thenceforward and forever free' - just when Lincoln's government carried no authority in the Southern states.

However, it was the beginning of total war, as it gave Union troops the right to rob the enemy of his property - which included slaves. Those slaves followed the armies back to their camps, and were given jobs there. The obvious conclusion was that if the North won the war, those slaves could never be returned to their one-time owners.

no different because they were still for the most part slaves, just not legally. those who were feed were still not safe because there were many instances of people killing freedmen in the south.

If I remember correctly, the main objective (besides the fact that it was the right thing to do) was to create chaos and destabilize the South so it would have to surrender. The South was virtually powerless without its slaves; that was the main reason the South did not want to give up slavery in the first place. The South's main source of income was from tobacco and cotton, and the slaves were the backbone of the production of these crops. In some parts of the South, blacks even outnumbered whites.

The Emancipation Proclamation did not free all the slaves in the United States, it only freed slaves that were not living under Union Control (Norths Control). The Emancipation Proclamation also states that black soldiers can fight for the union, at this point the Union were in need of soldiers. Our 16th President Abraham Lincoln issued this Proclamation

He was desperate to keep Britain and France out of the war. After the Proclamation, they could not intervene without looking pro-slavery themselves.

Only in the states that were in rebellion. The border-states could continue practising slavery for the time being.

The proclamation of 1763 was a public announcement that said all lands of the Appalachian Mountains belonged to the Native Americans. Colonists became angry with the Proclamation of 1763 because the Proclamation gave the Crown a monopoly on land bought from Native Americans.

So, instead of listening and following the Proclamations rules and orders, they ignored them.

They were angry that Britain had limited the area available for settlement. They were also upset because the law forbade them from settling in the Ohio River Valley where there was fertile soil for farming, and the Native Americans weren't using it. Many colonists had already bought land west of the Appalachians and now weren't allowed to move. Many colonists did not respect the Native Americans and did not want to preserve their land. The colonists just ignored the law and moved across the Appalachians. AWESOMENESS!

His tone was stern and angry at times.
