Answer 1

By freeing all slaves in the Northern states, Lincoln allowed thousands of African Americans from the North to serve as soldiers in the Union Army.

Explanation:

• President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. It freed all slaves who lived in the Confederacy during the Civil War.
• Since the southern states seceded from the Union, the proclamation originally had very little effect other than guaranteeing freedom to any slave who managed to escape to the northern states.
