Why did Lincoln only free slaves in the states that were in rebellion and not all of the salves throughout the country

History
1 answer:

Answer:  Lincoln was wanting to retain the support of some states which allowed slavery but were loyal to the Union.

Historical context/details:

President Abraham Lincoln issued The Emancipation Proclamation as an executive order on January 1, 1863. The executive order declared freedom for slaves in  ten Confederate states in rebellion against the Union.  It also allowed that freed slaves could join the Union Army to fight for the cause of reuniting the nation and ending slavery.  

While Lincoln personally was strongly against slavery, he had to tread carefully in his role as president and commander-in-chief.  The Emancipation Proclamation was carefully worded in order to retain the support of four border slave states, which remained in the Union though they were states that permitted slavery, were  Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, and Kentucky.   Lincoln wanted to keep those states loyal to the Union cause.

How did Americans establish governments as they went from being British colonies to independent states?
vova2212 [387]

C: Americans in each state devised state constitutions that established bicameral legislatures, laid out rules for choosing state governors, and set up a system of state courts.

The states created their own constitutions but a similarity that emerged was a system with a governor and a 2-house congress mimicking the federal system. The individual laws set by states varied from state to state. For example many northern states abolished slavery in their state while southern states allowed for the freedom to own slaves. These differences were protected under the Tenth Amendment which stated that rights not stated in the federal Constitution were reserved for the states.

Why did the Republican Isolationists refuse to ratify President Wilson’s League of Nations?
slavikrds [6]
Republican Isolationists refused to ratify President Wilson's League of Nations after World War I because they feared it would draw the United States into future European conflicts. At the end of World War I, the US was only just begin to depart from its previous policy of foreign affairs, which was isolationism - staying out of other countries' affairs. The Isolationists feared that tethering the United States to the League of Nations would result in the US being required to come to the aid of an invaded European state at a later date.
