Answer:

C. Second Confiscation Act

Step-by-step explanation:

The Second Confiscation Act, passed July 17, 1862, was virtually an emancipation proclamation. It said that slaves of civilian and military Confederate officials “shall be forever free,” but it was enforceable only in areas of the South occupied by the Union Army.

This is correct for Plato/Edmentum too :)
