Abraham Lincoln hesitated at first to make emancipation a goal of the war for a few reasons. Firstly, he was concerned about the potential backlash from border states that still allowed slavery, as he knew that losing their support could weaken the Union war effort. Additionally, he was trying to maintain the delicate balance between preserving the Union and addressing the issue of slavery.
However, as the Civil War progressed, Lincoln's policy on emancipation began to change. He came to see that the war was not just about preserving the Union, but also about ending the institution of slavery. The shifting tides of the war, including the growing number of escaped slaves seeking refuge behind Union lines and the need for more troops, influenced his decision.
In 1862, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that all slaves in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. This marked a significant change in his policy, as he recognized that the war could not be won without addressing the issue of slavery. The Emancipation Proclamation not only changed the focus of the war, but it also paved the way for the eventual passage of the 13th Amendment, which officially abolished slavery in the United States. Overall, Lincoln's hesitation to make emancipation a goal of the war gave way to a shift in policy as he recognized the moral and strategic importance of ending slavery.

The Confederacy had several advantages when the Civil War began. They had a strong military tradition and were fighting a defensive war on their home turf, which gave them a psychological advantage. They also had skilled military leaders like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, who were able to effectively rally and lead their forces.
Additionally, the Confederacy had a strong agricultural economy that provided them with the resources to sustain their war effort, including the production of cotton and other goods. They also had a strong sense of unity and determination among their people, which helped them to endure the hardships of war.
However, the Union was able to overcome these advantages in several ways. They had a much larger population and a more developed industrial economy, which allowed them to produce more weapons, ammunition, and other supplies for their troops. The Union also implemented a naval blockade of the Confederacy, which severely limited their ability to trade and obtain necessary resources.
Furthermore, the Union was able to effectively utilize their resources and manpower through strategies like total war, which targeted the Confederacy's infrastructure and civilian population. They also had strong leadership from figures like Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, who were able to effectively coordinate their forces and ultimately achieve victory. Overall, the Union's ability to leverage their advantages in population, industry, and strategy ultimately allowed them to overcome the initial advantages of the Confederacy.
