The evolution of slavery before and during the Civil War "The Civil War began as a bitter dispute over Union and States' Rights. It ended as a struggle over the meaning of freedom in America" (Wade 4). African-Americans represented an important workforce in the South during the war and an important element in Southern economy in general. As a consequence, Northerners started to focus on destabilizing conditions in the South by encouraging African-Americans to refrain from assisting their masters. Many slaves ran away when they realized that they were actually provided with the opportunity to be free.
There was initially much controversy regarding the Civil War, as people had trouble whether it was precisely meant to end slavery or if it was meant to ensure that Northern states could extend their authority to the south.

Emancipation Proclamation Since issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, politicians and historians have debated its Constitutionality and Lincoln's approach to emancipation in general. Allen Guelzo, a noted historian, supports both the Constitutionality and Lincoln's approach.

Douglas on the other hand accused Lincoln of double speech between the North and the South. He puts him to task on how he would vote if a state like New Mexico would want to join the Union yet they were ready to recognize the Union with or without necessarily recognizing and endorsing slavery, and commented that Lincoln would not be committal to such issues.
