Question

The problem that Lincoln saw with the Emancipation Proclamation was that it could potentially be reversed after the end of the Civil War, if leaders viewed it as only a wartime measure. How did Lincoln attempt to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Emancipation proclamation declared in septempter 22, 1862 did broaden goals of civil war. Although Lincoln saw himself working alongside the abolishionist on behalf of the common anti slavery cause, he did not count himself among them.

Explanation:

The proclamation was a presidential order and not a law that was passed by the congress. it strengthened the republican party, making them stay in power for the next two decades. Therefore Lincoln pushed the anti slavery amendment to the U.S constitution so as to ensure it is permanent.

The 13th amendment in the year 1865, eliminated slavery throughout America. because by the end of 1862, the union was facing challenges. The confederate Army had overcome the union troops in battles.

Lincoln confessed that his paramount objective in the struggle was to save the union and it is not to save and destroy slavery. He had hoped that by declaring a national policy would stimulate the south to rush into the union arm and depleting the confederacy labor force.

Lincoln then issued a Preliminary Emancipation proclamation in 1862. freeing slaves in the rebellious states in 1863. By trying to please all parties, Lincoln left many loopholes open.
