Explanation:

Answer:

1. The document in question is likely the Emancipation Proclamation. It was created mainly due to the need to undermine the Confederacy's labor - force (slavery was a cornerstone of the Confederate economy) and to gain moral support from abolitionist forces both at home and abroad. Its effects included changing the nature of the Civil War from a war mainly about preserving the Union to one also about ending slavery, and it paved the way for the 13th Amendment.
2. The Emancipation Proclamation did not truly set all slaves free immediately. It declared slaves in Confederate - held territory free, but not those in border states that remained loyal to the Union.
3. It influenced attitudes and decisions by shifting public opinion in the North more firmly against slavery, and it put pressure on European powers not to intervene on the side of the Confederacy. It also affected military strategy as it made the fight against slavery an explicit part of the Union war effort.
4. The Emancipation Proclamation was finalized on January 1, 1863.
5. The Emancipation Proclamation specified that it applied only to states in rebellion against the United States (Confederate - held territory), not to the border states that remained loyal to the Union.
