Abraham Lincoln was initially hesitant on making the civil war about slavery or black rights, but rather preserving the Union. After pressure the focus additionally switched to that of slavery as well. "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it..." https://www.loc.gov/collections/abraham-lincoln-papers/articles-and-essays/abraham-lincoln-and-emancipation/
