The Proclamation was an urgent wartime measure, aimed at keeping Britain and France out of the war. The mid-term elections did not show much support for it at home - reminding us of the basic fact that most Northerners were not Abolitionists. The presence of more and more black soldiers in Northern uniform slowly started to influence American opinion about blacks as potentially equal citizens.

Had a huge effect on slavery. During it, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves in the Confederacy. Lee (Confederacy) also surrendered to Grant (Union) on April 9, 1865.

This resistance made passing legislation to abolish slavery difficult and prolonged the fight for its eradication.
