President Lincoln thought emancipation was justified as a military necessity to preserve the Union. "If the Proclamation of Emancipation was essentially a war measure, it had the desired effect of depriving the Confederacy of much of its valuable laboring force. It simultaneously succeeded in rallying thousands of English and European laborers to the cause of the Union or North, who were anxious to see workers gain their freedom throughout the world.
