Best answer:  Union troops had a greater reason to fight the Confederates.

Historical context/details:

President Abraham Lincoln issued The Emancipation Proclamation as an executive order on January 1, 1863. The executive order declared freedom for slaves in  ten Confederate states in rebellion against the Union.  It also allowed that freed slaves could join the Union Army to fight for the cause of reuniting the nation and ending slavery.  As summarized by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, "The Proclamation broadened the goals of the Union war effort; it made the eradication of slavery into an explicit Union goal, in addition to the reuniting of the country."

While Lincoln personally was strongly against slavery, he had to tread carefully in his role as president and commander-in-chief.  The Emancipation Proclamation was carefully worded in order to retain the support of four border slave states, which remained in the Union though they were states that permitted slavery, were  Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, and Kentucky.   Lincoln wanted to keep those states loyal to the Union cause.

The Emancipation Proclamation was also a way of blocking foreign support for the Confederate cause.  According to the American Battlefield Trust, "Britain and France had considered supporting the Confederacy in order to expand their influence in the Western Hemisphere. However, many Europeans were against slavery."  Britain had abolished slavery in its territories in 1833.  France had put a final end to slavery in its territories in 1848.  So when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, it also served as a foreign policy action to keep European powers out of the US Civil War, according to Steve Jones, professor of history at Southwestern Adventist University.

Why did imperialists support the spanish-american war apex?
serg [7]
Imperialist supported the Spanish-American War because it would result in America spreading their political and economic power.

The Spanish-American War saw Cuba fighting against Spain. In this case, the US took the side of Cuba. The goal was to get rid of Spanish influence in Cuba, as the ruler of the Spanish government had treated Cuban citizens unfairly.

Besides getting rid of the Spanish rule, this war would also help America gain access to new markets to sell their goods and new resources. Ultimately, this experience would help the US gain more power as the treaty that ended this war resulted in the US receiving territories like Guam and Puerto Rico.
