Answer 1

The following were consequences of the Emancipation Proclamation:

• France and Britain decided not to recognize the Confederacy.
• All enslaved people in the Confederate States were declared free.
• African Americans were allowed to join the Union army and navy.

The statement "All enslaved people in the United States were declared free" is not accurate, as the Emancipation Proclamation specifically applied only to enslaved individuals in the Confederate states, not in border states or areas under Union control.
