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.
Lincoln gave his “Gettysburg Address”

-51,000 casualties
