Good question - what was it? It looked like a human rights document, appealing for a crusade against the evils of slavery. In fact, it was an urgent tactical measure brought on by the war situation, where Britain looked like sending military aid to the Confederates. If Lincoln could turn the war into an official crusade against slavery, then Britain would have to stay out, having aboloshed its own slavery thirty years earlier.
