Question

how did the emancipation proclamation create a divide between the confederacy and great britain? it pushed britain to not enter the war over its opposition to the institution of slavery. it demonstrated the union’s willingness to wage war against britain over slavery. it enticed pro - freedom france to open a european front against britain.

Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation framed the Civil War as a fight against slavery. Britain had abolished slavery and opposed it, so this made Britain reluctant to support the Confederacy (which relied on slavery) and not enter the war. The second option is incorrect as the Union didn't wage war against Britain. The third option is incorrect as it's about France, not the Confederacy - Britain divide.

Answer:

A. It pushed Britain to not enter the war over its opposition to the institution of slavery.
