After this battle, Lincoln issued a preliminary version of the Emancipation Proclamation. This changed the war from an effort to stop a rebellion into an all-out, revolutionary struggle to get rid of slavery and thus change the entire political, social, and economic system of the South. Almost despite themselves, some white Americans found themselves fighting and dying for the freedom of human beings whom they (the whites) openly regarded as inferior.
