In short, it didn’t.
One of the greatest ironies of the lie that the war of northern aggression was fought to free the slaves was, while Lincoln was reading his FIRST emancipation proclamation, slaves in Maryland (and still Delaware, IIRC) were loading federal trains with munitions to prosecute the war.
That’s a stone-cold fact.
Slavery ultimately becomes a net economic loss. Had the war truly been about slavery, Lincoln would’ve manumitted the NORTH’s, the Union’s slaves FIRST.
It was about control of sugar, tobacco, corn, fiber (cotton), the prices, the cut, and distribution by wealthy northern globalists.
The “Civil War” was America’s Second revolutionary war and the good guys lost.
In the long term, had Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation - as illegal, unconstitutional an Executive Order as has ever been written, proclaimed as law - stayed in the Resolute desk, congress voted to BUY then manumit, forbid slavery, it could’ve been done with far less loss of life, but the post war “carpetbagging” was a preplanned event and drove the south into deeper, nearly unrecoverable poverty and servitude for most of a century.
PS: argue all you want. I’ve been over this many times in the past 50+ years and am very clear on my understanding of events leading to, through, and after the war. I no longer respond to trolls on this topic.

Indeed. Thank you!
