The Emancipation Proclamation was a curious wartime initiative that sounded like a human rights law, but was actually a tactical move to keep Britain from sending miltary aid to the Confederates. (It turned the war officially into a crusade against slavery, so that free nations abroad could not help the South without looking pro-slavery.)
