Question
- which group thought the emancipation proclamation was too drastic a step?○ british abolitionists○ congressional republicans○ congressional democrats○ african americans in the north
Brief Explanations
The Emancipation Proclamation (1863) freed enslaved people in Confederate states. Congressional Democrats, many of whom were sympathetic to the South or focused on ending the war quickly, viewed the proclamation as an overreach and overly drastic, as it tied the war directly to abolition rather than just preserving the Union. British abolitionists and Northern African Americans generally supported the proclamation, while congressional Republicans largely backed Lincoln's policy.
