The Emancipation Proclamation was a military order that freed slaves only in areas controlled by the Confederacy. In fact, the proclamation had little immediate effect. It was impossible for the federal government to enforce the proclamation in the areas where it actually applied—the states in rebellion that were not under federal control. The proclamation did not stop slavery in the border states, where the federal government would have had the power to enforce it. The words written in the Emancipation Proclamation were powerful, but the impact of the document was more symbolic than real. It defined what the Union was fighting against and discouraged Britain from aiding the Confederacy.

Group of answer choices
Slaves living in the western territories.
Slaves living in areas controlled by the Confederacy.
Slaves living in areas controlled by the Union,
Slaves in the border states.

One unit stood out above the others. The 54th Massachusetts Infantry consisted mostly of free African Americans. In July 1863 this regiment led a heroic charge on South Carolina’s Fort Wagner. The 54th took heavy fire and suffered huge casualties in the failed operation. About half the regiment was killed, wounded, or captured. Edward L. Pierce, a correspondent for the New York Tribune, wrote, “The Fifty-fourth did well and nobly . . . They moved up as gallantly as any troops could, and with their enthusiasm, they deserved a better fate.” The bravery of the 54th Regiment made it the most celebrated African American unit of the war.
