Which of the following was an effect of Lincoln’s issuing of the emancipation proclamation
1 answer
One effect of Lincoln's issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation was that it changed the focus of the Civil War from preserving the Union to ending slavery. It also encouraged many enslaved African Americans to flee to Union lines and join the fight against the Confederacy. Additionally, the Emancipation Proclamation paved the way for the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States with the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.
