Hundreds of thousands of white people fought and died to end slavery. This is incorrect. Hundreds of thousands of people fought and died to end the Independence of Southern states. The Union was planning to keep slavery during the first two years of the war, so they don't get to claim they were fighting to end it.
There were five Union slave states during the war.

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, funny enough, only 'freed' slaves in states that he had no control over. It did nothing in the slave states that stayed in the Union, where Lincoln actually had the legal authority to do so.
