It was chiefly an urgent wartime measure, to head-off the British from granting recognition to the Confederacy and sending military aid. (It would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.) In this, it was totally successful.

What statement describes an important change during the war?
The Emancipation Proclamation, effective from January 1863, which turned the war into an official crusade against slavery. The immediate aim was to keep Britain from helping the Confederates. (They could hardly be seen fighting for slavery, when they had abolished their own.) In this, the Proclamation was entirely successful, and Britain stayed out. It was also aimed at reviving Northern morale, which it did not achieve. However, it gave Union troops a license to free Southern slaves wherever they found them, and these slaves clearly couldn't be returned to their owners. So it did have the effect of ending slavery.
How did a war to preserve the union became a war to end slavery?
It became apparent to Abraham Lincoln in the middle of 1862 that the original aim of quashing the rebellion were ineffective due to military reverses, specificaly the failure of McClellan's effort to capture Richmond in the Peninsular Campaign. This feat of Southern arms against the Army of the Potomac had stiffened Confederate resolve, and more importantly had threatened British recognition of the CSA. It was therefore necessary for Lincoln to add the moral stigma of slavery to the offensive in order to 1)sway British opinion against diplomatically recognizing the South and 2) to energize the slave population into both passive (through refusing to work) and active (the raising of "colored" regiments ) resistance against the Confederate rebels. Lincoln waited for 2 days after the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) to release the Emancipation Proclamation, thereby announcing the new war aims in September of 1862.
Why did they want to fight in the Battle of Shiloh?
The Battle of Shiloh, fought in April 1862, was a pivotal conflict in the American Civil War, primarily motivated by the Union's desire to secure control of the Mississippi River and the Confederate aim to defend their territory and maintain their supply lines. Both sides sought to gain a strategic advantage in the Western Theater, as victory would bolster morale and provide critical resources. Additionally, the Union aimed to push deeper into Confederate territory, while the Confederates sought to repel Northern advances and protect their homeland.
