:: an outcome of the emancipation proclamation
:: not an outcome of the emancipation proclamation

Explanation:

To determine outcomes of the Emancipation Proclamation, we analyze each statement:

1. “Slaves were set free from Southern Plantations”: The Emancipation Proclamation declared slaves in Confederate - held areas free, so this is an outcome.
2. “The Civil War’s focus became ending Slavery”: The proclamation shifted the war’s purpose to include ending slavery, so this is an outcome.
3. “The South pulled its army out of Northern Virginia”: This is a military maneuver not directly caused by the Emancipation Proclamation, so it is NOT an outcome.
4. “Slaves in the south were encouraged to escape and fight for the Union”: The proclamation encouraged enslaved people to seek freedom and support the Union, so this is an outcome.
5. “Free Blacks in the North were encouraged to join the union army”: The proclamation led to more Black enlistment, so this is an outcome.
6. “Slaves in the border states were freed”: The Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to border states (they were not in the Confederacy), so this is NOT an outcome.
7. “Abolitionists started to support the war due the focus changing to ending slavery”: The proclamation’s focus on ending slavery gained abolitionist support, so this is an outcome.
