Kfins99 I know you can do this. The process is important. Do it for this question, and you can do it for any you come across.

Answer 7

"Was it a last resort? Or was it ratified to prove to the South that the North will win? Or is there something else?"

Good question. What's your textbook say. Or maybe Wikipedia.

Answer 8

yeah @Kfins99

Answer 9

The Emancipation Proclamation essentially had no importance at the time it was written. The only purpose it served was for Abraham Lincoln to prove he is still in power and will not recognize the confederate states of America as its own country. The slaves were not, in fact, freed by the Emancipation Proclamation.
It was a political move on Lincoln's part to show his refusal to recognize the seceded confederate states by passing a proclamation that would have no effect on a seperate country.

Answer 10

Palm to face. Uhm, fin, ol' buddy ol' pal. What do you think?

Answer 11

My answer I am going to put (please correct me if I'm wrong)

The Emancipation Proclamation was to send a message that President Lincoln was in control. All slaves were not freed after the Emancipation Proclamation, but it was to represent that Lincoln had no thought of the South being its own country. It gave hope to the North, and it was not used as a last resort to look foolish. Lincoln waited to draft it because if he did, it would seem as a last cry for help or pity.

Answer 27

@Kfins99 Fin, really. You need to study the speech, and not just read it.

Answer 33

I was hoping we could go over the process of how we need to study a document.

Answer 34

What do you mean?

Answer 35

@DonaldRoyMiller What are you stressing over about? The important thing is @Kfins99 know what Emancipation Proclamation is.

Answer 36

I mean as I mentioned earlier in the discussion that this ISN'T about the Emancipation Proclamation so much as it is about you becoming prepared for your future assignments, writing essays, research papers, etc. You're being prepared for that by doing this.

Answer 37

@Kfins99 Know what I mean. Fin? May I call you "Fin?"

Answer 38

Yes, call me anything (: Also I do know what you mean a little, but what are we going to do that will help me become more prepared? (I'm going to post this in a new thread)

Answer 39

We can study the process of research. What grade are you in? That will help me know how to help you.

Answer 40

I can study it also, because I need to brush up on this stuff. I'm rusty.

Answer 41

By "stuff" I mean researching a topic for an assignment or an essay.
