What did Lincoln say he was doing with the emancipation proclaimed?

In the Emancipation Proclamation, President Abraham Lincoln stated that he was using his war powers to free enslaved people in the Confederate states, as a means to weaken the South's ability to sustain the Civil War. He framed the proclamation as a necessary step to preserve the Union and promote justice. Lincoln believed that emancipation would not only undermine the Confederacy but also align the war effort with a moral cause, ultimately leading to a new birth of freedom for the nation.

Why was Abraham Lincoln called the Great Emancipator?

yes, my civics teacher told me. he's known as the great emancipator. Lincoln, during the Civil war, was politically for slavery, but not morally. He only did this because he felt it would improve people's opinions about him, making it easier for him to maneuver throughout the battlefield without the public questioning him. Although he did state he had slaves, he treated them as family members and respected them. He eventually released the Emancipation Proclamation Act, which released all slaves in all states. Unfortunately, he did not control every state and slaves in the uncontrolled states were still held by the South.
