now for the question the emancipation proclamation was a continuance
- 00:27
of which of the following developments and here your potential
- 00:30
answers slavery Well the trick here is paying attention to
- 00:35
the word continuance We've got to figure out which of
- 00:38
these options the emancipation proclamation was building on She is
- 00:42
an obvious no The proclamation was a slap in the
- 00:44
face to the south So it couldn't have been a
- 00:46
continuation of european support for the southern cause which was
- 00:50
pretty much non existent by this point in the war
- 00:52
Anyway he is off the mark too The emancipation proclamation
- 00:56
wasn't directly caused by shifts in the northern economy North

- 01:14

- 01:33
may have seemed like the emancipation proclamation was all about
- 01:36
lincoln doing the right thing But it also happened to
- 01:39
be the bearded presidents successful strategy for building on the
- 01:42
mobilization of the north and winning the war Great choice
- 01:46
abe Now if only your strategic thinking extended to knowing
