FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
True or False: The Emancipation Proclamation freed all enslaved people in the United States.
Back
False
Answer explanation
The Emancipation Proclamation specifically says, "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"
Who was in rebellion? Not any states in the North!
The Confederate States that ARE in rebellion have now been served notice. As Union troops arrive in states like Georgia which are in the Confederacy and in rebellion, the news of Emancipation will become widespread.
