The Immediate Effects of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order issued by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It proclaimed the freedom of slaves in the ten Confederate states still in rebellion.ecause the Emancipation Proclamation made the abolition of slavery into a Union goal, it linked support for the Confederacy to support for slavery. As Lincoln hoped, the Proclamation swung foreign popular opinion in favor of the Union by gaining the support of European countries that had already outlawed slaver.
One hundred and fifty years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the progress made by African-Americans is undeniableâwhich is why statistics about incarceration in the black community can be so shocking. In 2011 there were more African-Americans in prison or âunder the watchâ of the justice system than were enslaved in the United States in 1850. Michelle Alexander, the civil rights lawyer turned author, says this is in part because Americaâs criminal justice system perpetuates racial inequities.
