The correct answer is “contraband.”

Before the emancipation proclamation enslaved African Americans who were captured by Union forces were often treated as contraband.

Before Abraham Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation, when the Union forces captured African American slaves, they were treated poorly as contraband. Black people did not have rights and although slavery was legal in the Southern states, in some places of the North, African Americans were not treated right. Many African Americans joined the Union troops were they performed tough jobs in the trenches.

abraham lincoln, according to anyone who was connected with agriculture, represented the worst of northern politicians. shortly after lincoln was elected, south carolina seceded from the union. they along with other southern states, retained their anger. in a way, it was their own fault: the democrats were split in the south. some wanted slavery to be extended in other states that were about to join the union and some didn't want it badly enough. lincoln had a solid backing from his party: the republicans were united in not wanting slavery to be expanded.
