"Contraband" was a term commonly used in the United States military during the Civil War. The Unions used this term to describe a new status for certain escaped slaves or those who affiliated with Union forces. The Army (and the United States Congress) determined that the United States would not return escaped slaves who went to Union lines and classifies them as "contraband". They used many as laborers to support Union efforts and soon began to pay them wages.

True.
General Ulysses S. Grant established the Union's first official policy towards Southern slaves during the Civil War. In 1862, he implemented a strategy that allowed escaped slaves to seek refuge behind Union lines, treating them as "contraband of war." This policy was a significant shift, as it not only provided safety to enslaved individuals but also undermined the Confederate economy reliant on slave labor. The policy laid the groundwork for further emancipation efforts, culminating in the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

Unions provide strength. Unions provide support. Unions protect.
Pro-union is in support of unions. Pro means for. So for, unions.
The Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation seemed to be US President' Lincoln's position on the final view of slavery in the US. But it was a war measure meant to help the Union war effort. Most Americans in the North were not sure exactly what happen when the Preliminary Proclamation was made. There was no groundswell of anti-slavery sentiment in the North in 1862.
The benefits of police unions are the support it provides officers and their families. If officers are injured or killed these unions help support the families with things they may need.
