Answer: The correct answer is B. that enslaved African Americans would be freed

Step-by-step explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation was published by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, as the civil war approached its third year. Though the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free any slaves, it inspired the Union Army and millions of African Americans.
