AP US History
Unit 5 – Civil War and Reconstruction, 1848–1877
Topic 5.9
How could President Lincoln's decision not to enact immediate emancipation at the onset of Civil War impact its overall trajectory and conclusion?
It would lead to immediate end of slavery nationwide causing less resistance from southern states.
It may prolong southern resistance by not providing an incentive for enslaved individuals to seek Union lines for freedom.
It might decrease international support for Union cause seeing it solely as a fight over states' rights rather than also about ending slavery.
It may spur additional states to join Confederate side out of fear for their own continuation of slavery practices.
