Answer 4

Lincoln hoped that the change to a moral focus on slavery would cement Northern support.
He also believed that it was the right thing to do, because the constitution said "ALL MEN" it didn't discriminate race. Read the Emancipation Proclamation to find the text that relates to what I said.
