It was going to take a Constitutional amendment

Further Explanation:

When President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party recognized the Emancipation Proclamation, It was as a measure of war but he knew that Emancipation Proclamation wont have any constitutional validity when the war came to end. Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer by profession and he was aware of the importance of making sure that Emancipation Proclamation had no loopholes. It was not supposed to be eloquent or touching instead it was intended to be an iron-clad legal document. Legal framework was still in existence with regards to slavery in the confederate states along with slave states that were not the part of Proclamation.

So, because of that, Republican party pushed itself to the constitutional amendment in order to abolish slavery. Because of that, Republican party in Senate, passed the thirteenth amendment where it got more than two third of votes in year 1964.

The church played a very important role because it was "all around" in medieval times. On the level of almost every village there was a church and a priest which helped spread the word of the christian god. Through this, almost every person down to a villager somewhere in a village in Europe was able to come to church where people gathered on Sundays and hear new information and educate himself on various things related to faith and religion.
