<p>i have a frq due tomorrow for history and im wondering if you guys can give me some facts and maybe help me with my thesis. Im currently reading the book to find out more about it...and btw, any of you guys use "the Enduring Vision" by Boyer for their ap us history class?</p>
<p>The question is:
In 1861, President Lincoln asserted that he had no intention of interfering with slavery where it already existed. Two years later, however, he changed his position and issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Why? What were the practical and the ideological considerations? What did the proclamation do, and what did it not do? Should Lincoln have gone further?</p>
<p>can anyone please help me...
the only real reason i know Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation was becaue of the civil war. i need two more reasons...should i just break down the civil war into three different reasons and talk about that or are there more reasons other than the civil war?</p>
<p>hun this is your frq (what is an frq anyway---is it like a dbq?) do a little research. thats why you are in AP. you are supposed to be advanced proficient at researching and interpreting. this is not the CC frq, it is ash10's frq (please tell me what that stands for)</p>
<p>FRQ = free response question. I'm not going to write you an essay, but I'll give you a basic place to start.</p>
<p>The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in Confederate territory. What did this do? For the slaves, not much. The slaves in the border states still loyal to the Union were still enslaved. The Confederacy ignored the proclamation, of course, so it didn't free the slaves in the Confederacy either. Granted, slaves in areas regained by the Union would be freed, but the number was relatively small. </p>
<p>If it didn't free the slaves, then what was its purpose? Simple- the Confederacy had been very close to gaining British and French support. The Proclamation immediately reversed this and lost any chance the Confederacy had for foreign support, which is what Lincoln really intended.</p>
