The correct answer is: ""That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." According to the principle of Social Contract developed by 18th century Philosophers (notably Jean-Jacques Rousseau) a government is only legitimate if it respects the authority that people have consented to give it in order to protect their inalienable human rights and that it loses such legitimacy when it does the opposite, the people (the governed) have the right to modify it or overthrow it.

One of the major outcomes of the North winning the U.S. Civil War was the abolition of Slavery.
After the war broke out, through a legal maneuver the Union general Benjamin Butler, stated that any slave who came into "Union possession" were considered contraband of war, and because of this, they were not subject to be returned to their original owners, the Confederates. And as a result the word was spread and soon many slaves sought refuge in the Union territory in order to be declared as "contraband".
Later general Butler's interpretation was reinforced by the Confiscation Act of 1861, which stated that any Confederate military's property, including slaves, could be confiscated by Union forces.
And finally, due to the Emancipation Proclamation issued on January 1st, 1863, in a single stroke over 3 million slaves in designated areas of the Confederacy changed their legal status and were recognized by the U.S. government as free people.
