Question: EMANCIPATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? O.K, I have a 14 year old cosin... She is pregnant and she wanted to move out...Im trying to help herr... But , i just wanted to know.. in ny, can u be emancipated at 14 if pregnant..give me anything you know about emancipation Thanks!

Answer: Pregnancy and child birth do NOT automatically emancipate you. As a rule, you need to be at least 16, and be able to prove to the judge that you have a job that will pay the bills on your own, no living with family, no living with boyfriends or girlfriends, you have to make enough to pay the rent, the utilities the groceries (and in her infinite wisdom, she now has to feed 2) etc, all on her own. If she can't do that, she is NOT going to get emancipated. Good thing to, in order to be emancipated, you have to show good judgment, getting pregnant at 14 pretty much shows she lacks good judgment.

Question: What are the rules of emancipation in Georgia? How old do you have to be to get emancipated and is it a common thing? In the research I've done it says that you have to prove that you can support yourself financially what if you have an adult say that they will take you in and be responsible for you? Also how would you get started if you were trying to do this? Really any information about emancipation in Georgia will help.

Answer: you have to be at least 16, and if you're emancipated you don't get to have someone 'take care of you'...you're supposed to take care of yourself. (otherwise there is no reason for emancipation.) You need to find a lawyer that deals in such things...call child services for help.

Question: What was Jewish emancipation in the age of enlightenment during the final decades of the 18th century? Could you tell me what 'Emancipation' means? and also some general Info. about the age of enlightenment. Thanks!:) Edit: 19th century.

Answer: I think you're referring to what's known in Hebrew at the 'Haskala' movement. From Wikipedia: Haskala was a movement among European Jews in the 18th-19th centuries that advocated adopting enlightenment values, pressing for better integration into European society, and increasing education in secular studies, Hebrew language, and Jewish history. Haskalah in this sense marked the beginning of the wider engagement of European Jews with the secular world, ultimately resulting in the first Jewish political movements and the struggle for Jewish emancipation. The division of Ashkenazi Jewry into religious movements or denominations, especially in North America and anglophone countries, began historically as a reaction to Haskalah. Leaders of the Haskalah movement were called Maskilim (משכילים). Also, you should know about a man named Moses Mendelssohn who is credited with ushering in the Haskala among the Jews in 18th century Germany.

Question: Who supported the gradual emancipation of slavery in America? I know that some people were radical, and wanted to eliminate slavery completely and immediately (e.g. Frederick Douglass). Then there were those that favored the gradual emancipation of slavery. I was wondering who belonged to that group of people? I know some people would say Abraham Lincoln, but apart from him what were others? It would be best if they were well-known. Thanks for helping!

Answer: Gradual emancipation was the general rule in the North in the early years of our Republic. For example, Pennsylvania passed a law in 1780 providing for the gradual emancipation of slaves, but there was slavery in Pennsylvania until about 1847. New York did the same thing, and slavery was not completely gone until 1827. Many people, including James Madison, favored resettling the freed slaves to Liberia. Abraham Lincoln was personally opposed to slavery, but his overriding objective throughout the Civil War was to preserve and restore the Union. His views on slavery changed only to the extent necessary to achieve his goal of preserving the Union.

Question: What did the Emancipation Proclamation proclaim? What did the Emancipation Proclamation proclaim? A. All slaves in the Confederate states were seen as free people in the eyes of the Union. B. All slaves in the slave states supporting the Union were free people in the eyes of the Union. C. All slaves in the rebellious states would be given part of their masters' estates after the war. D. All male slaves in the slave states supporting the Union would be drafted into the Union Army.

Answer: The Emancipation Proclamation consists of two executive orders issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. The first one, issued on September 22, 1862, declared the freedom of all slaves in any state of the Confederate States of America as did not return to Union control by January 1, 1863, and the second one, issued on January 1, 1863, enumerated the specific states where it applied. The Emancipation Proclamation was widely attacked at the time as freeing only the slaves over which the Union had no power, but in practice, it committed the Union to ending slavery, which was controversial in the North. It was not a law passed by Congress, but a presidential order empowered, as Lincoln wrote, by his position as "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" under Article II, section 2 of the United States Constitution. The proclamation did not free any slaves in the border states (Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia), or any southern state already under Union control. It first directly affected only those slaves that had already escaped to the Union side, but as the Union armies conquered the Confederacy, thousands of slaves were freed each day until nearly all (approximately 4 million, according to the 1860 census[1] ) were freed by July of 1865. After the war there was concern that the proclamation, as a war measure, had not made the elimination of slavery permanent. Several former slave states had prohibited slavery; however, some slavery continued to exist until the entire institution was finally wiped out by the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment on December 18, 1865.

Question: How would you define and contrast political and human emancipation using Marxism? I have one last question on my study guide and I've been rereading his selected essays but can't seem to draw a conclusion as to what it is. I'm not really clear what the actual difference is. I understand political emancipation isn't actual freedom but this is for an essay test and I need a little bit more to say than just that. Thanks for the help!

Answer: I wouldn't, because it would bore me to death. (I hope this helps).

Question: Is it possible to apply for Emancipation at the age of 13? Is it possible to apply for Emancipation at the age of 13 if the person can support himself financially? Please just answer the question.. If you can support yourself financially, in general, and make decisions on your own, is it gonna be possible to apply for Emancipation without the permission of the guardian/parent(s) then?

Answer: To get emancipated, you will need to prove: 1. You are mature enough to manage your own affairs. This is demonstrated by things like a clean criminal record, good grades etc. 2. You can support yourself financially. You will need to show income and anticipated expenses.It is HIGHLY unlikely you have the income to rent an apartment, pay all utilities and put food on your table. You can NOT draw any public assistance if emancipated. The judge can rescind your emancipation if you go on public assistance after being emancipated. 3. That your welfare is better served by not being with your parents. Hating mom's rules will not meet this criteria. 4. That there are no other reasonable solutions to the issues at home. In the states that actually allow emancipation you will need to be at least 16. You will need to hire a lawyer to get you though the process. You would need to file in a court that has jurisdiction over your parents or custodial parent if you do not live with both. Only about 1 percent of emancipation petitions nationwide are granted.

Question: How old do you have to be to get a court emancipation and what reasons will be substantial? G'day. I live in Queensland.

Also a few physical incidents here and there. Thanks, as much information as possible would be great.

Answer: Yahoo answers is not the place to be discussion such personal problems so answering is difficult. You could try approaching the QLD family court and ask there. There are also a ton of youth support places. I have put some links in, I hope they help you. If there are serious problems, don't wast time. All the best. xxx000au If you need to email to let off steam, feel free.

Question: What was the impact of the Emancipation Proclamation on the Civil War? What was the impact of the Emancipation Proclamation on the Civil War? Support your argument if possible.

Answer: Although the previous answer is correct, there were two other veyr strong motivators for Lincoln to issue the proclamation: 1) His hope was to promote insurrection among the slaves in the south, and cause havok because of it. His first and foremost purpose was to win the war and end the war, and this, much more than support in the north, was his aim. If he could get slaves in the south to realize that a northern victory meant their freedom, he thought he could shorten the war by having them turn against their captors. 2) The European powers were dangerously close to recognizing the Confederacy as a legitimate government, which would be a disaster for the Union. The only reason they hadn't already recognized the Confederacy was slavery, which they generally abhored. By issuing the Proclamation, Lincoln prevented the other countried from taking a stand until the war could be further resolved. It is interesting to note that while Lincoln wanted to end slavery and had always thought it was an abomination, he did not believe that whites and blacks could live together as a country, and he fought for years for a system of colonization of the ex-slaves to other places, notably Haiti or Cuba. he also believed that slaveowners should be conpensated for any slaves taken from them.

Question: What role did Gabriel Prosser play in the debate over slave emancipation in Virginia? a) In corresponding with Thomas Jefferson, he argued that persons of African ancestry had the same abilities and should enjoy the same rights as whites. b) He toured the state arguing that masters had a Christian duty to emancipate their slaves. c) As a slave, he planned a slave uprising in 1800 and was hanged. d) As a prominent planter in the Tidewater region, he led successful efforts in the legislature to block emancipation.

Answer: This is a trick question, and poster above's response is wrong. The correct answer is A! Even though he had intentions on the slave uprising (choice c), he hadn't done it. He wanted to get attention of Thomas Jefferson through the intention of "slave uprising" and really wanted equality. Equality amount africans, Gabriel Posser wanted equal rights as whites.

Question: Does anyone know the difference between northern and southern views of the Emancipation Proclamation? I need 3 differences on how the southerns and the northerners viewed the Emancipation Proclamation. Such, as the southerners saw the slavery issue as one sided while the northerners saw the whole picture. Thanks!

Answer: Southern economy was based on agriculture, largely tobacco, rice, and cotton. Most in the south couldn't afford slaves, but the largest plantations required them in order to remain profitable. (Or in their view possible.) Not all in the south were in favor of slavery as evidenced by the number of people in the Appalachians who resisted slavery and often helped on the underground railroad. The northern economy was developed on manufacturing of goods. They also had the benefit of having the lion's share of the wealth. It was easier for some northerners to acknowledge the inhumane treatment of some slaves, they saw it would break the back of the revolting southern states economy to end slavery, and would be critical to the federalist form of government (strong central government). P.S. We do not live in a democracy....we live in a republic. The framers of our constitution feared a direct democracy, yet wanted a strong government for people, by the people.
