Oh All right A pushers one ofthree Here Here's the

00:10

key document that we're sourcing the Emancipation Proclamation eighteen sixty

00:14

three will just skim it for you for no charge

00:17

that on the present generation Lord of Wei all persons

00:20

like feelings Anything apart with savoring a hint before there

00:22

were over three that they're coming and and I further

00:25

clapping and personal little going to Jinan the vessel All

00:29

right Well the Emancipation Proclamation accomplished all of the following

00:33

except what The Emancipation Proclamation didn't truly abolished slavery While

00:43

many northerners called for the complete abolition slavery President Lincoln

00:46

wanted to keep the border states content and try to

00:48

talk the Confederate states into rejoining the union As the

00:52

catastrophic and bloody war went on people began to question

00:55

Lincoln's slow and steady strategy Northerners noticed that slavery was

00:59

helping the Confederate states in the war because while the

01:02

Southern economy kept on going thanks to the slaves cotton

01:04

pickin work and all the other stuff they did in

01:06

the agrarian economy there as tensions rose Lincoln enacted the

01:10

Emancipation Proclamation on January first eighteen sixty three It determined

01:15

that all people whereof shall then be in rebellion against

01:19

the United States shall be then thence forward and forever

01:23

free However this only meant that slaves in states still

01:26

hostile to the union were free as faras These states

01:29

were concerned Lincoln didn't have any authority over them Yes

01:33

so minor detail The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves living

01:36

in the Confederate states of America CB there But slavery

01:40

wasn't officially abolished until the passage of the thirteenth Amendment

01:44

in eighteen sixty five The Emancipation Proclamation worked both as

01:47

a war and an economic strategy against the South So

01:51

get rid of sea there Indy After the proclamation was

01:54

issued well a lot of the free Southern slaves fled

01:57

to the union and joined its army while freeing the

01:59

slaves in the Confederate states also ensured that Britain and

02:02

France wouldn't help the South Instead the European countries applauded

02:06

Lincoln's move because they were against slavery anyway Economically speaking

02:11

the Confederate states economy simply could not function without the

02:14

slaves it depended on No slaves meant the Southern economy

02:18

would collapse and well guess what collapse it did There

02:21

were all these Confederate dollars that now make nice bonfire

02:24

Anyway Right answer Here is a Emancipation Proclamation did not 00:02:28.258 --> [endTime] in fact fully abolished slavery
