Answer:
Southerners felt that the proclamation was not a law at all and just a political stunt by Lincoln.
Explanation:
The proclamation was aimed at freeing slaves .
The south had already been taken away , its representatives were taken to the congress with supervision .
This one was not taken as freedom since it was only supposed to happen on the rebellious states .
President Abraham Lincoln used the "Vacate Congressional seats " tactic to know which of the states were still on rebellion.
