Outline:

Claim: The strongest argument made by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil war against slavery
was that militarily it was beneficial to the Union.

Reasons: Emancipation Proclamation, Preserving the union, Ending the war.

From lincoln's point of view, if slavery is abolished it will end the war and the union can expand.
He wanted to preserve the union and to do that he needed to make sure that the house divided
was no longer divided.
If they took away the slaves then the south would have no reason to fight in the war.

Evidence: Doc A, B & C, page 69

Disappointed by the reaction of most Cabinet members to his initial draft of the Emancipation
Proclamation in July 1862, President Lincoln waited exactly 2 months before issuing what has
come to be known as the Preliminary Proclamation. (Doc A)

As president, Lincoln was actually more concerned about preserving the Union (keeping the
United States together) during the Civil War than freeing the slaves. (Doc C)

and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority
thereof , will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons , and will do no act or acts to
repress such persons (Emancipation Proclamation, page 51)

If I could save the Union [the United States] without freeing any slave I would do it; and if I
could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would do that also. (Doc C) - Abraham
Lincoln

Justification:
It obviously not moral because lincoln literally states that if he could end the war without freeing
slaves he would meaning he did not care about the slaves to much.

Counterclaim: The Proclamation was a legal document and was made to make slavery illegal
but the Proclamation states that it was made to expand the union and the military.

Conclusion: That is why the strongest argument made by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil war
against slavery was that militarily it was beneficial to the Union.
Essay:
The strongest argument made by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil war against slavery
was that it was militarily beneficial to the Union. There are so many reasons that point to this
argument such as, It would end the war, the union could expand and become more powerful,
and the Emancipation Proclamation.
If slavery is abolished, the war will end because the South will have nothing to fight for
and it will allow the union to expand. This means that Lincoln only abolished slavery to end the
war and there is plenty of evidence to support that such as when Lincoln states that if he could
end the war without abolishing slavery, he would: If I could save the Union [the United States]
without freeing any slave I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others
alone, I would do that also. (Doc C) - Abraham Lincoln. This clearly shows that his strongest
argument is not moral because it means he just had no other choice.
The next reason is that Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union and this is shown when the
document says this: As president, Lincoln was actually more concerned about preserving the
Union (keeping the United States together) during the Civil War than freeing the slaves. (Doc
C). Not only does this mean he wanted to preserve the union, but it is also a military reason and
not legal or moral.
The last reason is that the Emancipation Proclamation was made for military reasons.
The Emancipation Proclamation was made for military reasons because Lincoln wanted to
make sure that the Union was preserved by creating documents to keep it alive. Here is some
evidence from text in the Proclamation: and the Executive Government of the United States,
including the military and naval authority thereof , will recognize and maintain the freedom of
such persons , and will do no act or acts to repress such persons (Emancipation
Proclamation, page 51). This text from the Proclamation supports that it was made for the
military.
Sure the Proclamation is a legal document and made to make slavery illegal, but it was
made to make preserving the Union Official by ending slavery and to make sure everyone
knew that it was. There are even more quotes to prove this such as: Disappointed by the
reaction of most Cabinet members to his initial draft of the Emancipation Proclamation in July
1862, President Lincoln waited exactly 2 months before issuing what has come to be known as
the Preliminary Proclamation. (Doc A)
That is why I believe the strongest argument made by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil
War against slavery was that it was militarily beneficial to the Union. Still dont agree? Just look
at how much evidence there is that I did not even cover!
