Punitive raids on the Georgia civilians, to wreck the farms and railroads, and help to starve the Confederate armies in the field.

It was also a good opportunity to live off the land, as his supply-line was so vulnerable to atack from Confederate cavalry.

Britain and France could not grant recognition to the Confederacy and send aid, without looking pro-slavery themselves.

It didn’t set all slaves free. It only freed slaves in the states of the confederacy. One of the consequences was the slaves began to follow the union troops and many enlisted as soldiers.

because they fainly agreed to be a free state

No. Look at the timing.

A sudden burst of Victories by the newly-promoted Lee. The North losing morale. Britain and France (officially anti-slavery) close to recognising the Confederacy and sending military aid.

It was a war measure, though a most unusual one, because it could not be rescinded afterwards.

It was supposed to turn the war into a crusade against slavery.

Not many Northerners were impressed by this - as the mid-term elections showed.

The Proclamation was issued chiefly to keep Britain and France from aiding the South, as it would make them look pro-slavery themselves.

* to clarify the status of the fugitive slaves,
* to solve the Union's manpower woes,
* to keep Great Britain out of the conflict,
* to maim and cripple the Confederacy by destroying its labor force,
* to remove the very thing that had caused the war, and
* to break the chains of several million oppressed human beings and right America at last with her own ideals

because the north was against slavery so he waited till they won to anounce to the south the emancipation proclamation

No. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

To kill the jews

Some mistakenly think that the proclamation did nothing. In one sense, a proclamation of itself NEVER does anything -- but instructs that something BE done. Thus, Lincoln' proclamation gave instructions to the Union armies, which they then DID carry out from January 1, 1863 till the war's end.

Specifically, the Emancipation Proclamation itself:

1) immediately secured the freedom of slaves from states in rebellion who had fled behind Union lines (guaranteeing they would NOT be returned to their masters.

2) instructed the Union's armed forces, AS they advanced and took over territory in the South, to announce & secure the freedom of slaves in those regions. (In fact, by the end of the war MOST slaves in Confederacy had been freed via the carrying out of the Proclamation.

3) provided for the recruitment of freed slaves into the Union army -- a large number joined, fought valiantly & were key to the eventual Union victory

A short term effect of the "preliminary" proclamation (of September 22, 1862) was that Lincoln & the Republicans took a hit in the 1862 fall elections. Many in the North, esp. Democrats, were unhappy & this mobilized them.

A bit less directly, via the proclamation:

1) Lincoln gained increased leverage in convincing border slave states to end slavery themselves (as he'd been trying to convince them to do for most of two years).

2) It became more difficult and eventually impossible for British leaders --who informally recognized & surreptitiously supported the Confederacy -- to do so *officially*, because there was widespread popular opposition in England to a "war in support of slavery".

3) France was kept from backing the Confederacy as well. (French leaders WANTED to support the South, but only if Britain would do so first.)

4) Lincoln was able to begin to gather support for a PERMANENT end to slavery throughout the nation (secured in 1865 via the 13th Amendment, which Lincoln did a LOT to lobby for). The valiant fighting of black regiments (possible through the Proclamation) helped secure popular support for this move in the North.

The North. It was issued by Lincoln, chiefly to keep the British from aiding the Confederates (because it would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.)

The Proclamation declared slavery to be illegal in all the states in rebellion - that is, the South. It allowed slavery to continue in the slave-states that had remained loyal, for fear of upsetting powerful slave-owners and driving them into the arms of the Confederacy.

Lincoln focused on returning the seceding states to the Union and ignored the question of Abolition publicly, also aiming to keep the slave-owning boarder states in the fold. He had wanted to announce the Emancipation Proclamation earlier, but his cabinet persuaded him to wait until the North could claim a battlefield victory. With Antietam in the Fall of 1862, Lincoln felt the opportunity had finally presented itself. Even then, he made the effective date January 1, 1863, to give the rebel states a chance to return to the fold before the Proclamation took effect.

nothing. Lincoln had no control over the confederacy. the proclamation ended slavery in the north but their were no slaves up there.
