Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. France and Britain decided not to recognize the Confederacy: The Emancipation Proclamation shifted the focus of the Civil War to a moral issue (ending slavery), which made European powers like France and Britain less likely to recognize the Confederacy, as supporting a slaveholding nation would go against their own values (and for Britain, its own abolition of slavery).
  2. All enslaved people in the United States were declared free: The Emancipation Proclamation declared that all enslaved people in the Confederate - held states (not the entire United States, as border states that were part of the Union still had slavery) were to be set free. However, it was a crucial step towards the eventual abolition of slavery in the whole country.
  3. African Americans were allowed to join the Union army and navy: After the Emancipation Proclamation, African Americans were permitted to enlist in the Union military, which was a significant change and helped expand the Union's fighting force.

The option "All enslaved people in the Confederate States were declared free" is also a consequence, but the question is to check all that apply. Wait, actually, the Emancipation Proclamation specifically targeted enslaved people in the Confederate - controlled areas. Let's re - evaluate:

  • The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Lincoln. It declared that as of January 1, 1863, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.
  • This proclamation led to France and Britain deciding not to recognize the Confederacy because they didn't want to support a slave - holding rebellion.
  • It also allowed African Americans to join the Union army and navy, as the Union now had a moral cause of ending slavery and could utilize African American manpower.
  • The statement "All enslaved people in the United States were declared free" is incorrect because border states (Union states with slavery) were not included. The statement "All enslaved people in the Confederate States were declared free" is correct as a consequence (even though in practice, it took the end of the war and the 13th Amendment to fully enforce it). But looking at the options:

Option 1: France and Britain decided not to recognize the Confederacy - Correct.
Option 2: All enslaved people in the United States were declared free - Incorrect (border states excluded).
Option 3: All enslaved people in the Confederate States were declared free - Correct (in the proclamation's wording, though enforcement was later).
Option 4: African Americans were allowed to join the Union army and navy - Correct.

Wait, maybe the original options were presented as:

  1. France and Britain decided not to recognize the Confederacy
  2. All enslaved people in the United States were declared free
  3. All enslaved people in the Confederate States were declared free
  4. African Americans were allowed to join the Union army and navy

So the correct ones are 1, 3, and 4. But let's check historical facts:

  • The Emancipation Proclamation made the abolition of slavery a central goal of the Union war effort. This made it politically unpalatable for France and Britain to recognize the Confederacy, as they had already abolished slavery (Britain in 1833, France in 1848). So option 1 is correct.
  • The Emancipation Proclamation applied to the Confederate states (the ones in rebellion). So option 3 is correct (in terms of the proclamation's declaration, even if enforcement was limited…

Answer:

  1. France and Britain decided not to recognize the Confederacy
  2. All enslaved people in the Confederate States were declared free
  3. African Americans were allowed to join the Union army and navy
