A result of the emancipation proclamation was that Slavery was outlawed in the states that seceded. Option C is correct.
The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order by Abraham Lincoln. This order was issued in 1862, during the United States Civil War. The Emancipation Proclamation stated that all slaves held in rebellious states, that is, states that seceded (did not join the union but instead sided with the confederacy) are free. This is why option C is correct.
Though very similar, option B is false because the Emancipation Proclamation applied only to the states that seceded. This was a tactical decision. Some reasons behind it were:
- Military
- Politics
- Symbolism
On the political side, Lincoln managed to not anger union states that still held slaves. While on the military side, the proclamation allowed for freed slaves to join the union army, which led to the enlistment of roughly 200,000 former slaves, who were now united in ending slavery, which is an example of the symbolism achieved by the order.
Lincoln was assassinated much later, in 1865. His death was not a direct result of the emancipation proclamation, therefore option A is also incorrect. Finally, option D is false because no part of the emancipation proclamation included the legalization of slavery in any territory.
Option C is correct because the emancipation proclamation outlawed Slavery in the states that seceded.
