Answer:
The Answer is D, The Emancipation Proclamation.
Step-by-step explanation:
"On August 30 more than 1,000 armed slaves massed for action near Richmond but were thwarted by a violent rainstorm. The slaves were forced to disband, and 35 were hanged, including Gabriel. The only free person to lead a rebellion was Denmark Vesey, an urban artisan of Charleston, South Carolina. Exempt from the proclamation were the four border slave states and all or parts of three Confederate states controlled by the Union Army. As Lincoln’s decree applied only to territory outside the realm of his control, the Emancipation Proclamation had little actual effect on freeing any of the nation’s enslaved people."
