1. Why was it important for Lincoln to wait to issue the Emancipation Proclamation?

Question

a. it could have caused revolts in the North
b. it was important to have popular support beforehand
c. it could have ended the rebellion before Union victory
d. it may have caused Lincoln to lose reelection

Answer 1

The correct answer is c. It could have ended the rebellion before Union victory. Lincoln was waiting for the right moment to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which would declare slaves in Confederate states to be free. He wanted to wait until the Union had achieved a significant victory in the Civil War, as he believed that issuing the proclamation too early might have caused border states to join the Confederacy and could have ultimately led to a weaker position for the Union.
