Answer:
It is a surprise that the Emancipation Proclamation didn't include African American slaves that lived in the Union territory, but only included those who lived in the Confederate territories.
Explanation:
The Emancipation Proclamation was an Executive Order proclaimed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, that entered into force in 1863 declaring slaves in rebellious southern states and territories freed forever.
The Civil War was a struggle for the preservation of the Union after the southern states had separated. Morale in the south was initially high, and people thought they were fighting for his independence and his own way of life; the right of individual states to set their own laws (including the right to keep slaves) was central.
Although initially President Lincoln was hesitant about the complete abolition of slavery, he changed his mind during the course of the war. He was convinced that slavery had to be abolished in order to win the war. This eventually resulted in the abolition of slavery in the rebellious Confederate States of America.
Although slave owners did not tell their slaves about the proclamation, many found out. More and more slaves escaped and revolted, and everywhere the Northern armies appeared the plantations emptied. This proclamation did not cause slaves to be released immediately, but it was a major step forward. The document stated to the whole world that the civil war was meant to put an end to slavery.

The correct answer is FALSE.
The Estates of the Realm were the social classes in which the French feudal societies was divided: clergy (1st estate), nobels (2nd estate) and peasants and burgeosie (3rd estate). The 3rd estate comprised the majority of the country's population. There was almost no social mobility between estate. On top, the nation was ruled by a monarch with absolut powers.
The only representative body in France was the Estates General, an assembly that gathered representatives from the three estates, in case that the king required their counselling. In 1789, king Louis XVI called the last reunion because of the financial troubles that were affecting the government.
In the Estates General, each estate got one vote. The members of the third state considered this unfair as they represented the majority of the country's population and, under that system, they could always be outvoted by the much smaller 1st and 2nd estates. Due to this dispute, the 3rd state left the assembly and founded the National Assembly that would trigger the start of the French Revolution.
