Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Identify Generals Fremont and Hunter.
2. Outline the First Confiscation Act.
3. Explain that both generals freed slaves in areas under their control because they interpreted the act as a liberating measure for slaves.
4. Lincoln countermanded their orders because he feared antagonizing the Border States who held slaves and could join the Confederacy.
5. Conclude that the difference stemmed from matters of political necessity and war strategy, as well as the abolitionist leanings of the two generals.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the Emancipation Proclamation and its terms.
2. Outline the limitations: emancipated slaves only in area still in rebellion and not in four borders states still in the Union, or areas of Confederate states the Union had already occupied.
3. Point out that thousands of blacks remained in slavery within the Union despite the act.
4. Conclude that the act was a war measure and a step towards full emancipation at the end of the war.
