4) gave women the right to vote

Answer 1

The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in rebel states during the Civil War.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in rebel states. It was issued by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War in 1863. However, it did not grant African Americans the right to vote, as that was achieved later with the Fifteenth Amendment. The Proclamation had a significant impact on shifting the meaning of the war and played a crucial role in the ultimate abolition of slavery in the United States.
