1. African Americans in the North greeted the Emancipation Proclamation: B. joyful
To answer this question, we can look at the historical context. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862 during the American Civil War. It declared that all slaves in Confederate territory were to be set free. While it did not immediately free all slaves, it marked a significant step towards abolishing slavery.
Given this context, it is likely that African Americans in the North greeted the Emancipation Proclamation with joy. The proclamation represented a potential end to slavery and the beginning of their freedom.
2. On Jan 1, 1863, President Abe Lincoln signed the: C. Emancipation Proclamation
To answer this question, we can rely on historical knowledge. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It declared that all slaves in Confederate territory were to be set free. This document played a crucial role in shifting the focus of the Civil War towards the abolition of slavery.
3. Which battle did Lincoln use to take action against slavery: A. Antietam
To find the answer to this question, we need to understand the significance of the battles mentioned. Among the battles listed, the Battle of Antietam had a significant impact on President Lincoln's decision to take action against slavery.
The Battle of Antietam took place on September 17, 1862, in Maryland during the Civil War. The Union victory in this battle provided President Lincoln with a diplomatic opportunity to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. It demonstrated Union strength and gave Lincoln the confidence to use the battle's outcome as grounds for announcing the emancipation of slaves in Confederate territory.
4. The Union victory at Antietam allowed Lincoln a position of strength. Afterward, he gave what speech: A. The Gettysburg Address
To answer this question, we should understand the historical sequence of events. The Union victory at the Battle of Antietam, mentioned previously, allowed President Lincoln to establish a position of strength. Following this victory, Lincoln gave a speech known as The Gettysburg Address.
The Gettysburg Address was delivered by President Lincoln on November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. While it did not directly address the Emancipation Proclamation, it expressed the ideals of equality and freedom, which were closely tied to the issues of slavery and the Civil War.
5. The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves: A. only in Confederate territory
To answer this question, we need to refer to the content of the Emancipation Proclamation itself. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves in Confederate territory, not in the entire United States.
While the proclamation was a significant step towards ending slavery, it did not immediately free all slaves. It only applied to Confederate states that were in rebellion against the Union at the time. Slaves in Union-controlled states, as well as those in the border states of Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, and West Virginia, were not included in its provisions.
