Answer 1

The right option is b): The Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, did not apply to the border slave states that had not seceded. freed slaves throughout the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation when the nation was experiencing its third year of a destructive civil war. The Emancipation Proclamation declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.” But despite this declaration by the president, the Emancipation Proclamation started out on a wrong path because it applied only to the states that had seceded from the authority of the United States’ government. Slavery continued in the border states that had not seceded.
