Explanation:
The Proclamation of Emancipation was never challenged in court. To ensure the abolition of slavery throughout the United States, Lincoln pushed for the approval of the Thirteenth Amendment. Congress passed the 13th Amendment on January 31, 1865, and was ratified by the states on December 6, 1865, ending legal slavery.
The answer is: The approval of the Thirteenth Amendment.
Although the Proclamation of Emancipation did not end with slavery, it essentially transformed the character of war. The proclamation announced the acceptance of black men in the Army and Navy of the Union.
The answer is: Free African Americans were allowed to enlist in the Army and Navy of the Union.
