Answer
Provideed a moral reason to fight the war
Explanation:
Abraham Lincoln states explicitly, "all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free". He only freed the slaves in the confederate states of America, and formally tied the issue of slavery directly with the war.
