Why did lincolns emancipation proclamation free slaves only in the south?

Because he didn't want to upset powerful slave-owners in the border states, and drive them into the arms of the Confederacy. Answer 2: Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was intended to make a statement that the war was intended to end slavery. There were many factors involved with the cause of the war however, he wanted to focus on ending slavery. He felt this would rally more people behind their cause. Interesting that the Emancipation Proclamation did not really free any slave when it was signed. If a slave was living in a Southern state then the Proclamation had no effect until the Union army took over control of that area. There were a few examples of people in the Northern states who still owned slaves for a few years after the proclamation was released.


What political pressures influenced the emancipation proclamation?

During the American Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation was in fact motivated by factors other than political pressure. Straightforward moral concern was at work in its formulation and announcement. Military factors were also involved, as President Lincoln required a landmark achievement on the battlefield that would prepare the ground for the public announcement. Various other factors went into both the preparation of the document itself and the timing of its public release.

Rights given and taken away from former slaves during Reconstruction?

The Reconstruction Acts (all 4 of them) did not really deal with slaves or former slaves; they provisioned for reconstructing the southern states and the re-incorporation of those states back into the "union" (the US) plus requirements to pass certain parts of constitutional amendments (namely the 14th amendment - not the 13th which banned slavery). The Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution are what involved "rights" of slaves (former slaves); however those 'rights' were not fully implemented until the (supposed) end of segregation in 1968.


One of the major compromises at the constitutional convention involved the regulation of trade also known as?

Was there ever a chance that General George B McClellan planned on becoming the military dictator of the US?

General George B. McClellan was not happy with President Lincoln's initial Emancipation Proclamation of September 22, 1862. He learned of it on September 24, 1862. McClellan discussed possible responses to the proclamation with his closest confidants. As this was happening, officers loyal to McClellan, were said to be speaking about a possible military dictatorship. McClellan, however, was never involved in that. What he did do was to speak to his Democratic friends in New York City to determine how New Yorkers would respond if he openly opposed Lincoln's proclamation.
