Question

Okay The Emancipation Proclamation made some states free slaves. Which state out of these four did it not free the slaves? Texas, Missouri, Tennesse, or Virginia?

Answer 1

That would be Texas and Virginia---see below:

Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, (except the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the City of New Orleans) Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, (except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkley, Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth[)], and which excepted parts, are for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued.

Answer 2

Missouri. It was a border state, not a Confederate state. The Emancipation Proclamation effected slavery in Confederate states.

Answer 3

The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in those states which were "in open rebellion." In other words, if they were in a state which stayed in the Union, they weren't freed. Missouri didn't secede, so its slaves weren't freed until the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were adopted.

Answer 4

Missouri....The Emancipation Proclamation abolished slavery in the States that were in rebellion, not anywhere else.

Answer 5

technically it didnt free any slaves. the northern slave states were still able to keep theirs and the confederate slave states were not answering to the government at that time.

Answer 6

Missouri which did not join the Confederacy.
