Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation (1863) freed enslaved people in Confederate states. Northern Democrats, many of whom were sympathetic to the South or focused on ending the war quickly, viewed the proclamation as an overreach that would prolong the conflict and alienate border states. In contrast, Northern African Americans, congressional Republicans, and British abolitionists largely supported the proclamation as a critical step toward ending slavery.
