Answer:

Southerners felt that the proclamation was not a law at all and just a political stunt by Lincoln.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proclamation was aimed at freeing slaves .

The south had already been taken away , its representatives were taken to the congress with supervision .

This one was not taken as freedom since it was only supposed to happen on the rebellious states .

President Abraham Lincoln used the "Vacate Congressional seats " tactic to know which of the states were still on rebellion.
