What was the immediate effect of president Lincoln issuing the emancipation proclamation
Explanation:
<u>The Proclamation of Emancipation had immediate effect in all States, beginning with the release of 50,000 men</u>, <em><u>and the consequent acceptance of black men in the Army and Navy of the Union.</u></em>
He changed the cause of the war to a moral issue. Before the civil war was fought mainly for states rights but when the Emancipation Proclamation was issued freeing slaves the war became a moral issue therefore prohibiting Britain from supporting the Confederacy because they recently freed their own slaves and did not support slavery.
