Which of the following best explains the emancipation proclamation? a. it stated that slavery should be abolished at the end of the civil war. b. it stated that all slaves in the confederate states should be freed. c. it stated that all slaves in the union and confederacy were free. d. it stated that slavery would not be allowed in newly acquired territories

The correct answer is B. It stated that all slaves in the Confederate states should be freed.

The Emancipation Proclamation clearly stated that all slaves within the "rebellious states" (aka the Confederacy) should be freed. However, when the Emancipation Proclamation took place in 1863, the Confederacy considered itself an independent nation. This is why the Emancipation Proclamation did not free any slaves, as the Confederate States of America ignored Lincoln because they did not consider him their president.
