Question

Which was an important result of the Emancipation Proclamation? All slaves were freed. Freedom for slaves became an official aim of the war. Each freed slave received forty acres of land.

Answer 1

The main thing it did is freed the slaves in the southern united states if the southern united States came back to the union by Jan 1, 1863. If it was after that, then the slaves would be freed by a Northern victory.  The actual purpose of the Proclamation was to undermine the power of the government of the Southern States of America.
