question

did the emancipation proclamation apply to all states
passage · full text (697 characters)
The Emancipation Proclamation has been ridiculed, notably in an influential passage by Richard Hofstadter for ``freeing'' only the slaves over which the Union had no power. These slaves were freed due to Lincoln's ``war powers''. This act cleared up the issue of contraband slaves. It automatically clarified the status of over 100,000 now-former slaves. Some 20,000 to 50,000 slaves were freed the day it went into effect in parts of nine of the ten states to which it applied (Texas being the exception). In every Confederate state (except Tennessee and Texas), the Proclamation went into immediate effect in Union-occupied areas and at least 20,000 slaves were freed at once on January 1, 1863.
