The emancipation didn’t help them free the slaves because I feel like he was just saying that to give them hope that they’ll be free one day

The Emancipation Proclamtion made black people no longer be enslaved. So yes it freed the slaves, but created a new wave of oppression.

Lincoln's Emancipation of independence did not free the slaves his main goal was to put the union back in place but there wasnt an exact move in to geting rid of it completely . Thats why it was called the first step . - Evette serrano

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not free the slaves because he was focusing on the enemies of the union but, not the states which haven't been proven against it so his only option was to free the slaves from the enemy territory but not the ones who they were at conflict with.

No lincoln's  Emancipation Proclamation did not free the slaves because he couldn't free slaves he was just the commander in chief and not enough people would agree on his side to pass that law because the south would disagree. Also he didn't give them a choice because if they wanted to be free they had to fight on the same side as the US  or stay a slave . That's not free they had no choice because both were bad choices and it put them in a loop whole.

I feel like it did but at the same time the emancipation proclamation did not free the slaves because during the civil war the slaves were free but at the same time they were not because they had to go to war with their slave owners.

I think it gave them some sort of freedom but they were still oppressed and controlled by other people

No because i feel like abraham lincoln was just using them(slaves) and just giving them hope that wasn't going to be accurate later on in life.

Yes and no. Yes, because going to war was a way for slaves to become free. No, because if slaves went to war, coming back alive wasn’t granted. Lincoln mostly used them as decoys.

the Emancipation Proclamation Free the Slaves

The Emancipation Proclamation did not really free the slaves because only the slaves in the confedarcy got "freed" and if they did get free they would have to join to fight with the Union which is not really freedom

I dont believe Lincoln gave them freedom because he basically gave them false hope, he told the saves that they should rebel in order to earn their freedom but if they were to get caught they would go right back to slavery, he claims to be helping the slaves but is on the white side.

i believed it gave freedom to a certain extent, those who fought along side with the government or rebellion will get a slight taste of freedom but not entirely.
