The northern victory in the Civil War resulted in the passage of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, formally granting freedom to millions of enslaved African Americans. However, the end of slavery did not eliminate systemic racism or discrimination, as many states implemented Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation and inequality. Economic, social, and political barriers continued to marginalize Black individuals, perpetuating a cycle of discrimination despite their legal freedom. Thus, while the war ended the institution of slavery, deeply rooted prejudices and injustices persisted in American society.
It was an unexpected Northern victory, which gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which turned it into a war on slavery, so no foreign power could intervene on the side of the Confederates without looking pro-slavery.
The term "Yankees" during the Civil War primarily referred to the Union soldiers and supporters from the Northern states. The conflict, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, was fought between the Union (the North) and the Confederacy (the South) over issues including states' rights and slavery. The Union victory ultimately preserved the United States and led to the abolition of slavery. Today, "Yankees" can also refer to the New York Yankees, a Major League Baseball team, but in the context of the Civil War, it specifically denotes the Northern side.
It declared that slavery was legal in every state of the Union according to the Constitution.
All the Southern states had slavery. But not all of them joined the Confederacy. Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware remained loyal - a very big factor in the Union victory.
Approximately 37,000 African American volunteers lost their lives during the Civil War while serving in the Union Army. Despite facing discrimination and harsh conditions, these soldiers played a crucial role in the Union's victory. Their sacrifices significantly contributed to the fight for freedom and the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States.

Northern victory.
...assassination
Abraham Lincoln was the leader of the Union, or the northern united states, during the civil war. The civil war was the conflict that led to the abolishment of slavery. However, the war was more about preventing states from having the right to secede than to abolish slavery. Lincoln banned slavery in order to cripple the southern economy, making a union victory easier.
I think that most people at this time in history would agree that slavery was a bad thing, and therefore it was good that the institution of slavery was brought to an end by the victory of the northern states. However, the Civil Was was tremendously destructive, so it could be argued that the price paid for the ending of slavery was too high. In theory, there might have been non-violent means to resolve the issue. We will never really know.
Northern victory.
This was the unexpected Northern victory (after a string of successes by Robert E. Lee) that gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that the Union was now waging war on slavery. This made it impossible for Britain to help the Confederates without looking pro-slavery.
