Abraham Lincoln viewed emancipation as a crucial step toward preserving the Union and promoting equality. He believed that the enlistment of formerly enslaved individuals into the United States Colored Troops (USCT) not only bolstered the Union Army but also advanced the cause of freedom and justice. Lincoln saw the participation of Black soldiers as a powerful statement against slavery and a vital component of the war effort. Ultimately, he regarded these actions as integral to redefining the nation's ideals of liberty and democracy.
