Which statement about the Emancipation Proclamation is true?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: It was an attempt to free only the slaves in the Confederacy, not the Border States or areas under Union control.

Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 by President Lincoln freed the slaves in the Confederate states. This made the war about slavery and therefore ensured that European countries did not support the Confederacy and that the Union ranks increased as African Americans signed up for the war.

Sadly the proclamation did not free the enslaved people who were in the Border states or in areas under Union control because the President did not want these areas to join the Confederacy.

How has African Americans impact us today

IrinaVladis [17]

Explanation:

Abstract

Africans have, since the early settlement of America, influenced the nation's language, manners, religion, literature, music, art, and dance. One of our most crucial urban problems, the Negro low-status family, may have African origins. In the realm of politics, the civil rights fight in America from its origin has been linked to the struggle for African freedom, and American Negro intellectuals have identified with African culture from the beginning of the century, an identification accelerated since 1956 with the formation of the International Society of African Culture and the American Society of African Culture. American Negro leadership has collectively thrown its considerable political weight on the side of African freedom, and black nationalist organizations have kept up a noisy gadfly agitation. In the midst of this, America must deal with a considerable African presence in the United Nations.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The Quakers rejected slavery on the grounds that it contradicted the Christian concept of brotherhood.

Explanation:

The Quakers are a religious movement that originated among Christian English dissenters in the mid-17th century. At the end of the 1600s, many Quaker immigrants emigrated to North America, where William Penn founded Pennsylvania.

Quakers imagine that there is something of God within every human being, which, like an inner light, can guide one. The movement emphasizes that each person must find his or her own way to God, that God exists within every human being, and that the personal experience of God is the only guidance a human can have. Therefore, as God lived in every human, even in African-Americans, men were all equal and as a consequence brothers under God. This religious view, therefore, made them reject slavery during the 19th Century.
