Answer:
Psychologically and politically.
Explanation:
The battle of Antietam was not crucial, Lincoln hoped it would be. However, the Union was now in a position to psychologically, politically and economically attack the Confederacy. In January 1863, Lincoln published the Emancipation Proclamation. The text implied freedom for all people controlled by the Union and freedom became a military objective so that as time progressed, more and more slaves were freed and joined the Union troops.
And if the proclamation did not have much resonance among Southerners, surely such a Lincoln attitude was psychological of exceptional value for the continuation of the war. The proclamation of emancipation brought with it a political victory, it was an official step towards the abolition of slavery, and the rest of the world was viewed by the Confederacy as barbarians still nurturing slavery.
The farmers and herders were the lowest level.
They were in the peasant class along with the slaves.
What the guy above me said
Answer:
This comment goes back to when the US fought the British in the Revolutionary War.
When the Colonists won the American Revolution, the one thing that America didn't want was another king-like figure/government and have a repeat of George. That's why when the US first set up the Articles of Confederation, it didn't give power to the government to collect taxes, and most of the power lied with state governments. Because this didn't work, the US set up a democracy to make sure that no one person had to much power over another.
Thus, the system of checks and balances was born between the Legislative, the Executive, and the Judicial branches of government.
