The proclamation led to the Thirteenth Amendment.

It led to the freedom of slaves in Confederate states.

The other two are wrong because they both happened way before the Emancipation Proclamation

Ana Sharp · Answer 2

The Emancipation Proclamation led to the Thirteenth Amendment, and led to the freedom of slaves in Confederate slaves.

Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It changed the federal legal status of more than 3.5 million enslaved African-Americans in the designated southern slave areas to free. As soon as a slave escaped the control of the Confederate government, fleeing or through the advances of federal troops, the former slave was free. It did not cover the slaves in the areas of the Union that were liberated by the action of the state (or three years later by the 13th Amendment in December 1865). It was issued as a measure of war during the Civil War, aimed at all areas in rebellion and all segments of the executive branch (including the Army and Navy) of the United States.
