Answer:

B. the president publicly endorse the abolition of slavery in the Southern States.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Straight after the Proclamation was brought it changed the legal status of slaves.
  • They were freed by law, and more 3.5 million of them, who were living in South were "emancipated."
  • This was one of the turning points, not only in the abolition movement, but also in the whole Civil War.
