Motives for
Emancipation

Added one more reason for the war: Freedome

Lincoln believed that Black Americas were not as good as White ones (Lincoln-Douglas debates)

Straight up denied being call an abolitionist by
Douglas

but did believe that slavery was wrong
house divided speech

1860's election Lincoln seen as more moderate
when it came to slavery then Seward

Address in 1862 Lincoln didn't think he had the right
to get rid of slavery and he didn't want to either

This win gave Lincoln the courage
to put this measure in place

Though it was a draw
Lee had been forced to
retreat

Subtopic

The Confederates trump card was Britain. By pushing though
the emancipation proclamation, Britain became more hesitant to join the war.

The British population was very divided
over the issue of slavery

Waited until 1862 for the Emancipation Proclamation
cause loyalty of Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri was firmly secured

It was considered a war measure
that only freed slaves in rebel states.

Once the measure had been released
states were given 100 days to return to union

Where they could 'gradually' free
the slaves

Said of only way in win war free some slaves or all slaves
he would do it
