Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Emancipation Proclamation applied only to states under rebellion, as it was a military order issued during the Civil War. It did not apply to free states or to border states that remained loyal to the Union. Additionally, it did not free all slaves in every state, only those in rebel states. While it was seen as a significant step towards abolition, it was not immediately effective and did not actually free any slaves until Union forces gained control of rebel territory.
