True or false the emancipation proclamation freed slaves in the south but not the north

Answer 1

False. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War in 1863, declared that all slaves in Confederate-controlled territories were to be set free. Although it did not immediately free all slaves in the South, it laid the groundwork for their emancipation and was a significant step towards the abolition of slavery. Slavery was already abolished in the Northern states prior to the proclamation.
