Question

The Emancipation Proclamation could be considered a turning point in the Civil War because it:

Confederacy
B
Provided a moral reason to fight in the
war
с
Freed all slaves throughout the Union
D
Freed all slaves in the border states

Answer 1

Answer

Provideed a moral reason to fight the war

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln states explicitly, "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". He only freed the slaves in the confederate states of America, and formally tied the issue of slavery directly with the war.
