The reason that many in the South ignored the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 that freed all slaves was that the Confederate Army was in control of the South during the war.
Who issued the Emancipation Proclamation?
President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as a major strategic move to ensure victory for the Union Army during the Civil War by earning the support of American blacks.
The Emancipation Proclamation made all slaves in the South free American citizens.
However, this proclamation was not obeyed by all because of the ongoing Civil War and entrenched resistance to anti-slavery.
Thus, the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 was ignored and resisted in the South because the Federal Government was not in control.
