On January 1, 1863, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves in rebel areas in the United States. It did not free slaves in areas of the Confederacy under Union control.
a. True
b. False

True. Lincoln issued a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in the rebellious states “shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” While the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave, it was an important turning point in the war, changing the fight from preserving the nation into a battle for slave freedom.
