Answer:

" "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."

Step-by-step explanation:

Above is a quote from the Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln is stating that all slaves in the rebellious states which where the southern confederate states are now free this did not actually free them at the time but it did help the union win the war because after the Emancipation Proclamation over 200,000 former slaves joined the union army.
