The Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves living in states under Union control.
The Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves living in states under Union control.
To determine the correct answer, we can refer to historical sources, such as the text of the Emancipation Proclamation itself. The Emancipation Proclamation was a presidential proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War. Its primary purpose was to declare the freedom of slaves in the Confederate states that had seceded from the Union.
Upon reviewing the text, it becomes clear that the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to slaves who were living in states under Confederate control at the time. In particular, it states, "all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free." Therefore, the correct answer is "all slaves living in states under Union control."
