Question

why did the emancipation proclamation have limited immediate impact? it faced judicial review and ongoing constitutional scrutiny. it faced challenges in congress before it could be enforced. it abolished slavery only in confederate regions beyond lincolns control.

Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation applied only to Confederate - held areas, not areas under Union control or border - states. So, its immediate impact was limited as it couldn't be immediately enforced in the regions it targeted due to being areas of rebellion. It did not apply to slave - holding border states loyal to the Union, and the Confederacy did not recognize Lincoln's authority.

Answer:

It abolished slavery only in Confederate regions beyond Lincoln's control.
