Best Answer

The idea of the Emancipation Proclamation was born as a measure to break the resistance of the Confederacy. It therefore touched slightly the limits of costitutionality, giving the impression of Lincoln's autocracy. But the reactions the Proclamation triggered among the public opinion in Europe and those of the common people in the United States were all in favour of an alleged Lincoln's democratic tendency.
