“At a point in the war he (Lincoln) determined that freeing slaves in occupied areas was a priority.”

Apparently that is when the magic happened. The war took on a high moral purpose: as He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free.

President Lincoln announced slavery in the Confederate States had become ungodly, but that slavery in the United States would remain godly.

Therefore, troops from the Union slave state of Delaware fought in the Confederate slave state of North Carolina “to free the slaves.”

Troops from the Union slave state of West Virginia fought in the Confederate slave state of Virginia “to free the slaves.”

Troops from the Union slave state of Maryland fought in the Confederate slave state of South Carolina “to free the slaves.”

Troops from the Union slave state of Kentucky fought in the Confederate slave state of Tennessee “to free the slaves.”

And so forth and so on.

There you go again. Why don't you take a New Years resolution to stop lying (or at least cut back)?
