Question

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation stated that all slaves in the states still in rebellion against the Union after January 1, 1863 would be free.

true or false?

Answer 1

the answer is false Lincoln did not declare that all the slaves still in Rebellion would be free

Answer 2

“The Proclamation applied in the ten states that were still in rebellion in 1863, and thus did not cover the nearly 500,000 slaves in the slave-holding border states (Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland or Delaware) which were Union states. Those slaves were freed by later separate state and federal actions.” hopefully this helps you
