Question

Reread paragraphs 2–4, then reread paragraph 5 from “The Emancipation Proclamation.”

Answer 1

The answer is option C: It specifies that the freedoms granted by the Emancipation Proclamation apply only in rebel states.

The Emancipation Proclamation was the announcement made by President Lincoln through which all black slaves from the rebel states in the South were granted freedom. The fifth paragraph enumerates those rebel states together with the exceptions that are excluded from the Proclamation.
