slavery?
It freed all slaves within the United States' borders.
It freed only the slaves in Confederate territory.
It freed only the slaves in the border states.
It freed all slaves north of the Mason-Dixon Line.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Proclamation only gave the Lincoln Administration the legal basis to free the slaves in the areas of the South that were still in rebellion on January 1, 1863. It effectively destroyed slavery as the Union armies advanced south and conquered the entire Confederacy.
