When considering what financial aid is available for a student, the UC Merced Office of Financial Aid staff must determine an applicantâs dependency status using information from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (www.fafsa.ed.gov).
Best Answer: The Emancipation Proclamation greatly impacted the South. Plantation owners lost many of their slaves; thus losing their crops. Agriculture was the backbone of the economy of the South. The freed slaves went North and joined the Union Army which was a major factor for the North winning the Civil War.
The Emancipation Proclamation has faced criticism as a document of little actual impact, because it offered freedom only to slaves within any state or designated part of a state â¦ in rebellion against the United States-not to slaves in areas that the Union actually controlled.
