The slaves did indeed force his hand, what with large numbers flocking behind Union lines in the early days of the war, and they did indeed fight for their freedom as members of the Union Army. But sentiment in the North was strong in the grim winter of 1862-63 for a negotiated end to the war which would restore the Union, leaving slavery in place in the states where it already existed. It was Lincoln's issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation that made the war a war to end slavery--something voters in the North effectively ratified by re-electing him in 1864. Politics do play a role in all great moments of social change.<div>Leslie Tentler</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 10:21 PM Bill Sweeney <<a href="mailto:bill.sweeney@me.com" target="_blank">bill.sweeney@me.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">I’d love to see us honor the donations of freed people while also honoring the realities of history.
