4. What impact did the Emancipation Proclamation have on the war?
Now that we have understood how the proclamation came about, we need to think about the impact it has. The Emancipation had an impact in different ways, though the main one would be the enlisting of thousands of ex-slaves to the Union cause.
From the start of the war Lincoln was under pressure as to whether to enlist black soldiers into the Union army.
Whilst initially he stood firm against recruitment, mainly due to notion that people opposed the idea of blacks fighting against whites, this eventually started to change in mid 1862 as the Confiscation Acts gave Lincoln the power to use ex-slaves as a military force.
By August 1862, the recruitment of black soldiers was not objected by Lincoln and in September the first official black regiment was mustered into Union service.
After the Emancipation Proclamation a large influx of ex-slaves began to sign up and with northern opinion now on side due to the heavy losses, Lincoln now had 33,000 recruits with another 100,000 from the Confederacy which the Union would not have had before.
What was even better is that many of them also fought as well as white regiments.

5. What impact did the Emancipation proclamation have on the war?
Each pair now number themselves either 1 or 2. Depending on your number you will either be looking at the role of African Americans in the Union (pages ) or the Confederacy (pages ). In doing so I would like you to complete the following:
Make a large copy of the diagram on page 194
Add evidence to the points at the end of the flow diagram based on which side you are looking at.
You will then need to swap information with your partner.

7. What impact did the war have on the north and the south?
We have looked at the war and also considered the different factors in why the confederates lost. We now need to think about the impact the war had and in what way each side was effected by it.
TASK:
Each table has been given some information which you will need to revise. You have 10 minutes to do so.
Then, you will complete a quiz and whichever table gets the most points wins a prize!
