Frederick Douglass convinced President Abraham Lincoln to take a stronger stance on emancipation during the Civil War. Through his advocacy, Douglass urged Lincoln to make the abolition of slavery a central goal of the war, which ultimately led to the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. Douglass also pressed for the recruitment of Black soldiers into the Union Army, which Lincoln supported, recognizing the significant contributions they could make to the war effort.
