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.
The overall effect of slavery on the American economy is also arguable with various scholars identifying some positive and some negative elements of the practice. The South did not make the same technological and industrial advancements as the North until after slavery had been abolished, and some scholars consider this to have been an economic disadvantage for the nation as a whole.
