The Civil War catalyzed a shift in public opinion on slavery, particularly as the conflict intensified and the humanitarian crisis became more evident. Many individuals, including soldiers and civilians, began to recognize the moral implications of slavery, leading to increased support for abolition. The Emancipation Proclamation further highlighted the war's connection to the fight against slavery, framing it as a pivotal issue for national unity and human rights. Consequently, the war not only altered perceptions but also galvanized efforts toward emancipation and civil rights.

How did the northerners altitudes toward slavery change as the war went on?

As the Civil War progressed, many Northerners' attitudes toward slavery evolved significantly. Initially, some viewed the war primarily as a fight to preserve the Union, but as the conflict continued, the moral implications of slavery became more pronounced. The issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 shifted public sentiment, leading many in the North to see the war as a moral crusade against slavery. This change ultimately contributed to a growing abolitionist sentiment among Northerners, who began to recognize the necessity of ending slavery for the sake of national unity and justice.
