Answer:

In the late 1800s, the focus of the american federation of labor was work hours, safety, and the right to organize.

The American Federation of Labor (AFL) constituted a national federation of labor unions existing in the United States founded in Columbus, Ohio, in December 1886 by an alliance of craft unions disaffected from a national labor union known as the Knights of Labor. It was the largest union grouping in the United States for the first half of the 20th century.

What was one of the primary objectives of the Emancipation Proclamation?

olasank [31]

Answer: To end slavery in the Confederacy and weaken the Southern war efforts.

Explanation:

President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and this freed all the enslaved people in the Confederacy. This was a very good move because it had multiple effects that weakened the war effort of the Confederacy.

Firstly it made the Civil War about ending slavery which dissuaded European powers from supporting the Confederacy as they had abolished slavery. It also led to tens of thousands of African Americans signing up for the Union Army because they knew that victory meant freedom for their race.
