By Robert McNamara. The Emancipation Proclamation was a document signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863 freeing the slaves then held in the states in rebellion to the United States.nd as a practical matter, the slaves in the Confederacy were not free until the Union Army took possession of a region. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued as part of the presidentâs role as commander-in-chief during wartime, and was not a law in the sense of being passed by the U.S. Congress.
One of the most profound effects of Prohibition was on government tax revenues. Before Prohibition, many states relied heavily on excise taxes in liquor sales to fund their budgets. In New York, almost 75% of the state's revenue was derived from liquor taxes.he greatest unintended consequence of Prohibition however, was the plainest to see. For over a decade, the law that was meant to foster temperance instead fostered intemperance and excess. The solution the United States had devised to address the problem of alcohol abuse had instead made the problem even worse.
