Answer 2: Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was intended to make a statement that the war was intended to end slavery. There were many factors involved with the cause of the war however, he wanted to focus on ending slavery. He felt this would rally more people behind their cause.
Interesting that the Emancipation Proclamation did not really free any slave when it was signed. If a slave was living in a Southern state then the Proclamation had no effect until the Union army took over control of that area. There were a few examples of people in the Northern states who still owned slaves for a few years after the proclamation was released.

The Emancipation Proclamation. It did not actually free the slaves at that time, because Lincoln could not enforce any laws in the South.
