In this video segment, from the PBS documentary Looking for Lincoln<span>, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and historian David Blight examine President Abraham Lincoln’s mixed motivations for issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. They conclude that while Lincoln ultimately recognized the moral righteousness freeing the slaves, his first and primary concern was strategic: it was the best way to rally the North and strike at the heart of the South’s economy.

When soldiers went away to war their jobs needed to be replaced to keep the economy stable, women were able to take this opportunity and work in factories for munitions and sewing and many other things, this was a big step in the right direction to gender equality, after WW1 people started to change their attitude and realised that women can work and can do just as good as men in some countries they were given the vote and more opportunities opened for women in different industries and they were able to make a living for themselves instead of being reliant on a husband to get money for their whole family
