	Lincoln And Emancipation
		When the Wade-Davis bill was under consideration Sumner moved an amendment providing that the emancipation proclamation "is hereby adopted and enacted as a statute of the United States, and as a rule.
		Despite the absence in the proclamation of any express design to produce such a result, it came to be pretty generally assumed that in September of 1862 the war somehow took a new turn, and that thenceforward it was being prosecuted as a war against slavery.
		Thus it cannot be said that Lincoln's proclamations specifically made abolition a war aim of the North; indeed the September proclamation forbade such a construction, since it proclaimed restoration of the Union, not abolition, as the object of the struggle.

	The Emancipation Proclamation: A Jigsaw Activity
		The Lincoln administration and the Republican-controlled Congress had been chipping away at the institution of slavery since the beginning of the war, and the Emancipation Proclamation was a logical next step in that process.
		Control of the Border States allowed emancipation to be used as a tool against the Confederacy through "property" confiscation, the use of freedmen in the armed forces and, ultimately through the demoralization of Johnny Reb and his Confederate supporters.
		The fact that slaves were already emancipating themselves presented an opportunity for the Lincoln administration to use for the Union’s benefit by issuing a presidential proclamation ending slavery in those areas of rebellion.

	Mackubin Thomas Owens on Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in America on National Review Online
		The Emancipation Proclamation may lack the rhetorical elegance of the Gettysburg Address or the Second Inaugural, but Guelzo demonstrates that the Proclamation is the most epochal of Lincoln's public pronouncements.
		And it was the Emancipation Proclamation that provided the impetus for many slaves in territory not under federal control to run away.
		He argues persuasively that Lincoln's "face was set toward the goal of emancipation from the day he first took the presidential oath"; to achieve this goal, he planned out a policy of legislated, gradual, compensated emancipation.
