Up until 1863 he sure had everybody fooled. Bunch of barefoot dirt farmers whipping the big blue industrial machine. Nonsense. The confederacy started losing from the very beginning. Losing forts and armies and territories and men that they couldn't replace. The outcome of the rebellion was never in question, just the timing of the inevitable confederate defeat.

And so Lincoln issued his emancipation in 1863 because he "felt" like it? It was a risky political move to turn the tide of war.
