Final answer:
The Border States did not quickly accept Lincoln's proposals for gradual compensated emancipation and willingly implement the Thirteenth Amendment.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is False.
The Border States did not quickly accept Lincoln's proposals for gradual compensated emancipation and they did not willingly implement the Thirteenth Amendment. The Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in 1865 and the process of emancipation was a gradual one through the Emancipation Proclamation and the efforts of the Union Army during the Civil War. The Border States, which were slave states that did not secede from the Union, were resistant to these measures and it took time and further legislation to abolish slavery in those states. The gradual approach to abolition was not embraced by all states in the South.
