Do you think Abraham Lincoln needed to wait for the Union Army to win a battle before issuing the Emancipation Proclamation?

Abraham Lincoln didn’t have to wait for a Union Victory to issue the emancipation proclamation, at least, there was no law that said he needed to. But Lincoln felt he needed to for political reasons. He waited so it didn’t look like he was issuing it out of desperation. Since those in the north viewed the war as bringing the union back together not as a war against slavery it was simpler for Lincoln to simply call it a war against secession not slavery. Especially since the south didn’t really want to end slavery. But he felt that slavery had pretty much ended after the war so it was okay for him to draft the emancipation proclamation, but since the union army wasn’t doing so well at that time he waited so the North and his government didn’t look weak. When he issued it he did it so it looked like the right thing to do to free slaves and not in order to win the war.

What led to a decline in the knights of labor's membership in 1893?
sergij07 [2.7K]
The Knights of labor was the largest and one of the most important American labor organizations of the 1880s. It was founded on the 28th day of December in year 1869 by Uriah Stephens. They promoted the producers ethic of republicanism and demanded the eight-hour day, rejected socialism and anarchism and encouraged the social and cultural uplift of the workingman. In 1880, the organization reached 28,000 members and even gained more members to 100,000 in 1884.  But in 1893, the knights of labor declines its membership because of public pressure, power vested in reformist factions, and employers' unwillingness to arbitrate.
