Their differing views came together when Lincoln found it necessary to change the war-aims, and turn it into a war on slavery.

This was partly to give the war-weary North something more emotive to fight for.

But more urgently, he wanted to make it politically impossible for the British to help the Confederates. For the British would now have to stay out of it, for fear of looking pro-slavery.
