Answer 2

#1 - correct
#2 - I don't know. The economy in South Carolina and throughout the South was in shambles. Finding money was a terrible problem. It was perfectly legal and proper to sell land to small farmers, but nobody had money to buy land (and whites did not want to sell to freed slaves, either). What does your text say?
#3 - wrong. It did not free all slaves.

Answer 3

Reed could you give me some info on the Emancipation Proclamation because I cannot find it in my book anywhere.

Answer 4

Ms. Sue, if you could help with any of this I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 5

3.Yes, I agree with Reed, I didn't read that it said all. The main purpose was to free slaves. But it didn't free all of them. But it meant that the North was now fighting for a moral cause, but it also alienated slave holders living within the Union. So, I would go with C.

Answer 6

Okay thanks Jewellry! Is there anyway you could try to find anything relevant to number 2?

Answer 7

This is a transcription of the proclamation:

http://archives.gov/exhibits/featured_documents/emancipation_proclamation/transcript.html

The proclamation freed slaves in states and portions of states that were in rebellion against the United States. It did not affect slaves in states the president deemed not to be in rebellion, such as Maryland, Kentucky, etc., that were not part of the Confederacy.

Thank you so much! I just really cannot find anything in my book about number two, but I will try to figure it out.
