The Emancipation Proclamation also allowed for the enrollment of freed slaves into the United States military. During the war nearly 200,000 blacks, most of them ex-slaves, joined the Union Army.
It was not an immediate release of all slaves at the Declaration of Emancipation by president Lincoln. T/F The Proclamation applied to all states. False: The proclamation did not apply to the five slave states that were not in rebellion nor to most regions already controlled by the union army. Emancipation there would come after separate state actions and/or the December 1865 ratification of the 13th ammendment which made slavery illegal everywhere in the US. What did the proclamation do? It made the erradication of slavery an explicit war goal in addition to the goal of reuniting America.
