One of the arguments that Douglass and Greeley had about making abolition the aim of the war was that the slaves would fight for their freedom if given the chance. They more than anyone were the ones who should be given the opportunity to fight for their freedom. When the Emancipation Act was passed, Blacks poured in and enlisted in the Union. Many fought hard despite prejudice from White officers and soldiers. They proved their worth and help contribute to the North’s victory.
